Obama-No PAC-Man

Obama returns more than $50,000 in lobbyists' contributions, according to the Chicago Tribune.

"I am concerned about the role of lobbyists and campaign donations generally in our politics," Obama told The Associated Press while campaigning in Florence, S.C. "That's part of the reason I don't take PAC money and I'm not taking federal lobbyist money in this campaign."

As the campaign prepared to file its first quarter finance report to the Federal Election Commission, it noted that it has given back $50,566 from 49 donors whom the campaign identified as lobbyists.


The first quarter finance report to the Federal Election Commission are due from the candidate by midnight, April 15, 2007.
