In this election year, more than $200,000 has gone to lobbying efforts and campaign contributions for sympathetic Congressmen -- mostly Democrats -- including $26,750 to New Jersey Congressman Robert Torricelli, principal sponsor of the Cuban Democracy Act. But President Bush has received the bulk of the foundation's presidential contribution: $57,000, vs. $1,750 for Clinton...
