Raising money is a reality of modern-day politics.
Max has been a champion for the people of Libby ever since this first came about. He realizes this takes both senators pulling in the same direction, and that's what we're doing.
All of the big players with significant beefs were made happy by the (BRAC) commission.
The whole point of his trip was to go over there and figure out why jobs are being outsourced and what we can do to stop it. He in no way expressed support for outsourcing. He went to India to try to tackle the problem of outsourcing and that's why it's unfair to take his comments to mean anything but that.
If at the end of that process any corrective action is needed, Max will be more than happy to take that action. He finds the whole situation downright seedy.
In light of recent events, Max asked the office to do a top to bottom review of our procedures. Out of an abundance of caution, he's made two immediate changes. The first one is that all of his offices and staff will immediately abide by lobbying reform legislation proposed by Max and (Senate Minority Leader) Harry Reid and ban all gifts, meals and travel by lobbyists.
Max, as the champion for Libby, is going to fight tooth and nail to get this provision added. But if he were to oppose the bill right now, that would be walking away from the people of Libby.
I don't think Bon Jovi playing 'Bad Medicine' in a conference room would go over too big.
This (Hoffa) letter is totally unfair to a man who has spent 30 years fighting for working families and who has been endorsed in every single one of his campaigns by organized labor.
