Let's get the old calculator out compare election money. Obey- $19,200 in 9 years = $2133 per year. Petri - $17,650 in 9 years = $1961 per year. Kagen - $10,000 in lets say 3 years = $3,333 per year.
Huh! How much money did they get from BAE Sytems Inc and Navistar?
"CHEESEHEADS FOR TRUCKS: The Wisconsin delegation is going to bat for a lucrative defense contract awarded to a company in the members' state. Two other companies, BAE Systems and Navistar, are protesting the Army's decision to award the $3 billion truck contract to the company, Oshkosh. "The Wisconsin lawmakers are pleading with Gates to assist them 'in preserving the integrity of the defense acquisition process,' and to prevent 'inappropriate' and 'undue interference' with the GAO review," The Hill reports. Oshkosh has also propped up the Wisconsin delegation's campaigns. Using data from CRP, the newspaper reports that Rep. David Obey (R-Wis.) has collected $19,200 from Oshkosh since the 2000 election cycle, while Rep. Tom Petri (R-Wis.) has brought in $17,650 and Rep. Steve Kagen (D-Wis.) has collected $10,000. Oshkosh also faces some steep competition in the way of lobbying expenditures. BAE Sytems Inc. spent $2.6 million on lobbying in the first half of 2009, while Navistar spent $778,500. Oshkosh Corp. reported spending $180,000. The Government Accountability Office has until December to uphold or deny the protests from BAE and Navistar."
