Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington has listed 13 members of Congress they say warrant investigation. CREW is a watchdog group that's spent a lot of time criticizing House Minority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX), but they say he's not the only one who needs looking into for wheeling and dealing.Among the 13:
- Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN): accused of violating federal campaign laws. CREW also wants an inquiry into why he suddenly sold his stock in his family's company -- the SEC is investigating for possible insider trading
- Rep Maxine Waters (D-CA): a December 2004 Los Angeles Times investigation showed members of her family have made more than $1 million in the last eight years by doing business with companies, candidates and causes that Waters has helped
- Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.): Billed Pennsylvania taxpayers for sending his kids to school in Virginia
