Dems want ID of GOP bundlers At a press conference Out-of-state workers spark ire Wednesday, Sue Dvorsky, the chair- woman of the Iowa Democratic Party, and Sen. Jeff Danielson, D- Cedar Falls, called on Republican presidential-nomination candi- dates to disclose the names of their campaigns’ major fundrais- ers, according to a press release from the Iowa Democratic Party. The two contended that a public knowledge of bundlers — as the major fundraisers are known — is in the interest of Iowans. “If the Republican candidates for president aren’t forthcoming about who exactly is helping them to get elected, how can we know for sure that those same people won’t be calling in favors if their candidate wins election to the White House,” Dvorsky said at the conference. Dvorsky also stressed trans- parency and accountability as a reason for naming bundlers. President Obama recently made public his major contributors, according to the release, having done the same for his 2008 cam- paign. Danielson said at the conference he was shocked that no Republican candidate had not yet volunteered the disclosure of her or his major fundraisers. — by Ariana Witt Palin to hit Iowa in September Former Alaska Gov.
