MoveOn.org is calling on John McCain to fire one of his top aides, amid reports he's re-vetting his entire campaign staff for ties to lobbying.
MoveOn has apparently already vetted McCain aide Charles R. Black Jr.
As The Washington Post reported in February, Black "leads his lobbying firm, which offers corporate interests and foreign governments the promise of access to the most powerful lawmakers. Some of those companies have interests before the Senate and, in particular, the Commerce Committee, of which McCain is a member."
"Charlie Black has helped some of the world's worst dictators get away with murder," said MoveOn's Noah T. Winer in a news release. "John McCain must do the right thing, live up to his campaign's new conflict of interest policy, and demand Black's immediate resignation."
