	Enviros plot to beat Pombo in November \| By Amanda Griscom Little \| Grist \| Muckraker \| 06 Jan 2006
		Pombo also has support from the Bush administration on a number of his legislative proposals, and has come to be seen as a golden boy by Republican ideologues.
		And Pombo has some explaining of his own to do: He received more than $35,000 in donations from Abramoff and his Indian-tribe clients between 1999 and 2004, and has been accused of letting that influence his committee dealings.
		Pombo has also raised some eyebrows with the use of his campaign funds and his leadership PAC, dubbed Rich PAC -- shorthand for Richard, but heavy with irony given Pombo's reputation as an industry crony and master fundraiser.

	Rep. Richard Pombo (R-CA) \| Beyond Delay (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Richard Pombo is a seventh-term member of Congress, representing the 11th district of California.
		Thus if, as it appears, Rep. Pombo has supported legislation that would financially benefit him and his family, he would likely be in violation of the prohibition against using his position as a member of Congress for his financial benefit as well as the House conflict-of-interest rules.
		The excessive size of the payments Rep. Pombo made to family members suggest they were for personal use, and were not legitimate campaign expenditures, in violation of campaign finance laws, making these payments an appropriate matter for investigation by the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct.

		Richard Pombo is finally defeated, more by his own actions than by having an outstanding candidate running against him.
		The information that he put out, the quotes from Pombo that were in the press or in the press releases of his Committee, were so far frm the truth that it tainted everying that he said from that time on.
		Faced with that, I re-examined the rhetoric around Pombo's pet projects, the revision of the ESA and drilling in the ANWR, and also found the to be devoid of substantiable fact.
