If we follow the money,\u00a0the conclusion is that the Oneida Indian Nation is funding this PAC as the Nation did <!--more-->against any\u00a0politician, as Claudia, who appreciates the economic impact of the Turning Stone Casino but also calls attention to the thousands of casino debt related bankruptcies and the numerous debt-related suicides and\u00a0attempted suicides plus the adverse effect it had on thousand of families in central New York.<\/p>\n<p>I suggest that you contact claudiaforcongress.com online to learn about the lies of this PAC as to her\u00a0record. When you receive an expensive, colored glossy in the mail from the PAC, or view the anti-Tenney ads on television, remember they are all mistruths and distortions. It is time for her two\u00a0Republican opponents to man up and to disavow the lies spewed out by the PAC on their behalf.<\/p>\n<p>Very truly yours,<\/p>\n<p>Rocco L.
