The Golden Leash Award

-April 29, 1998

The Golden Leash is a symbol of the ties between special interest money and elected officials. It is awarded to Members of Congress who demonstrate egregious conduct in the quid pro quo practice of dollar democracy.

This award serves as a reminder of Senator Dodd’s acceptance of $910,304 in campaign cash from January 1993 to December 1997 from the Securities, Investment, Accounting and High-Tech Computer industries, and in turn, using his position as ranking Democrat on the Securities Subcommittee of the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee to promote special favors for his "cash constituents" at the expense of his real constituents back home, and the American people.
