ERIC CANTOR TIED TO RABBI WHOSE AIDE IS AT CENTER OF PROBE

An influential rabbi whose former aide is embroiled in a campaign finance investigation has ties to one of the most powerful members of Congress, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor.

Ofer Biton, a former aide to the Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto, was arrested by the FBI on immigration fraud charges last week. Biton, an Israeli citizen, had also served as a fundraiser to Rep. Michael Grimm, a Republican from New York's Staten Island. Recent media reports indicate that Grimm is being investigated for having possibly accepted illegal campaign contributions from members of Pinto’s congregation.

3. Thanks elleng!

From your link..

"As a vet with a son in Afghanistan, I will take care of our veterans. Cantor has voted for two unfunded wars to send our troops into harm's way but has a D grade from the Iraq and Afghanistan War Veterans Association. And … that grade was given to him before he voted in the spring to cut veterans' benefits another $11 billion.

I have been told by many I can't go up against Cantor's millions and win. I disagree. The 7th District has watched as the most dysfunctional Congress in American history has put our nation on a path toward total economic collapse. Eric Cantor is the leader of that Congress. I believe that when given a choice of "red versus blue" or "red, white, and blue," the 7th District will choose "red, white, and blue." That's why I can win."

Wayne Powell seems serious about Winning! I got a thank you from their campaign.

8. Mudcat told us, on July 31:

The internals show that the 7th District doesn't think Cantor is too pretty...approval rating 37%, re-elect 41%, replace 43%, but the district is +12 Rs.
