2. How do they return the legislation and the political favors and contracts
that enriched their cronies?

4. Now that's a grassroots campaign perhaps the public could get behind.
Demand they change things back to the way they were. It was broke and it didn't need to be fixed.

5. I don't care what Abramoff gave to campaigns.
I don't care what Indian Tribes, etc gave to campaigns.

I do care about trips, vacations, family members employed by sham organizations and mostly I care about the money paid as straight up bribes directly to legislators - bags of cash.

We hear that Abramoff is broke but millions and millions of dollars passed through his hands. His expenses and listed donations do not begin to add up to the amount of dollars he controlled.

Who got the cash?

6. Abramoff probably has a couple of sizeable
accounts, one in the Caymans and one in Swiss banks.

9. Not to mention they are "returning" it...

...not to the tribes, for the most part, but to whatever "charity" they want to donate it to.
