As you may have read in Sunday's Denver Post, State Representative Bill Berens (R) recently accepted a check for $20,000 from the Colorado Oil and Gas Association. [Denver Post, 10/8/06]
The Oil and Gas Association is one of the largest lobbying groups in Colorado, spending huge amounts of money trying to influence our legislators. [Colorado Common Cause]
It's unclear whether or not this cash gift to Berens violates existing Colorado law. But it's certainly inappropriate for him to take such an enormous amount of cash from an industry group with millions of dollars of business potentially riding on his decisions as a legislator.
Click on the link below and demand that Berens to do the right thing and return this check or donate it to charity:
