I still can't make this stuff up! At the same time he has a hard-core liberal Gay Rights / Surrender advocate raising money for him, Charlie Brown has added to his fundraising team.

The Communist Black Panther has teamed up with Don Perata - outgoing Senate President pro-tempre. Perata is obviously motivated to help Charlie Brown, because Tom McClintock has been a thorn in his side for the last 8 years.

Perata is known to use strong-arm tactics and intimidation to keep Moderate Democrats beaten into submission on budget votes ( including changing the locks on their offices in the capitol)... so why not help Charlie Brown's vainglorious quest against Tom McClintock?

Now Perata has other issues, like taking $570,000 from the CCPOA somehow avoiding the $3,600 per person/entity limit. In addition "The Don of Investigations" has three concurrent FEDERAL Investigations for money laundering, influence peddling, fundraising violations, and the like.

That's right - THREE investigations. John Doolittle, one for 4 1/2 years with no indictment.

Yet, Charlie has had Doolittle tried and convicted already, spending 2.5 million on ethics attacks. If Charlie takes one dime from Perata, he owes John Doolittle an apology!
