Thunewatch.com: "KELO Covers John Thune, Dan Nelson, Metabank Scandal"
Thune's Connection To Dan Nelson Automotive

Sioux Falls Car Dealer Dan Nelson is turning his dealership over to his partner, Chris Tapken, after filing bankruptcy. But this may be more than a car dealership in financial trouble, because Dan Nelson has financial and political ties to US Senator John Thune.

Nelson has been involved with the Thune campaign, beginning with Thune's first US House Race in 1996.

According to campaign finance records, Nelson has contributed at least $9,000 to Thune's campaign. Thune even leased cars and office space from Dan Nelson during his 2004 senate campaign.

But it's Thune's service on the board of directors of the bank that loaned Nelson millions of dollars that's raising the most questions.

Hey, Senator Thune -- hint, hint - RESIGN.




Peace.

www.missionnotaccomplished.us - How ever long it takes, the day must come when tens of millions of caring individuals peacefully but persistently defy the dictator, deny the corporatists their cash flow, and halt the evil being done in Iraq and in all the other places the Bu$h neoconster regime is destroying civilization and the environment in the name of "America."
