Denver, CO - The Associated Press reported today that Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham pled guilty to graft after admitting to $2.4 million in bribes. The bribes came from defense contractors.

Rep. Cunningham has contributed to a number of Congressional Republicans, including Rep. Bob Beauprez. This case is one more example of reports of improper financial dealings in the Republican Party.

"Rep. Beauprez should return any contributions from Rep. Cunningham and separate himself from the increasing scandals coming out of the Republican party," says Colorado Democratic Party Chair, Pat Waak. "The American public is tired of this culture of corruption."
