PHOENIX - Federal authorities announced corruption charges Friday accusing Rep. Rick Renzi of engineering a swap of federally owned mining land to benefit himself and a former business partner and stealing from his insurance company's clients. ADVERTISEMENT
A lengthy federal investigation that had put the three-term Republican congressman under a cloud for more than a year culminated in a 26-page indictment issued Thursday against him and two other men. Renzi announced Aug. 23 that he wouldn't run for re-election in Arizona's mostly rural 1st Congressional District.
"Congressman Renzi deprived the citizens of Arizona of his honest services as a United States elected representative," U.S. Attorney Diane J. Humetewa said.
The indictment's 35 counts include charges of conspiracy, wire fraud, money laundering, insurance fraud and extortion. Most of the charges allege Renzi, 49, used his office to promote a land swap to collect on a debt owed by former Renzi associate James W. Sandlin of Sherman, Texas.
Renzi, Sandlin and Andrew Beardall of Rockville, Md., another of the congressman's former business associates, were to be arraigned in Tucson on March 6. Convictions on the most serious charges carry maximum penalties of 20 years in prison.
Republicans, democrats, they're all bums. We don't even have one decent candidate in the running for president. We are becoming a socialist society right before our eyes and we can't seem to do a thing about it. We're doomed.
I took the block off because there were people who used to read it who have either lost or forgot their passwords or for whatever reason were no longer able to log in. I was down to like three readers.
BTW- a couple people have mentioned trouble seeing the video. If it doesn't work, try clicking here.
Getting back on-topic (since people appear to struggle with that - if you want to talk about something else, get your own blog), pretty amazing video, huh?
yes, it IS an amazing video, now that I actually got to see it. I was one of the people it wouldn't work for before. Who made that video? It was very powerful

Socialist Society? We're doomed?
Sez who, some guy on the Fox channel?
Please explain how we are becoming a socialist society...
I'd like to see three concrete, specific examples of this alarming trend.
