	&lt;div class=&quot;field-item&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;The group behind the &lt;a href=&quot;/under_the_dome/elections_board_hunting_robocaller&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;Lamont Williams&amp;quot;&lt;/a&gt; calls has strong ties to &lt;a href=&quot;/under_the_dome/profiles/hillary_clinton&quot;&gt;Hillary Clinton&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.npr.org/news/images/2008/may/01/wvwvchart.html&quot;&gt;research&lt;/a&gt; by the Center for Investigative Reporting, principals in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wvwv.org/&quot;&gt;Women&amp;#39;s Voices Women Vote&lt;/a&gt; have given $34,800 to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton or her political action committee since 2000, while only giving $3,600 to &lt;a href=&quot;/under_the_dome/profiles/barack_obama&quot;&gt;Barack Obama&lt;/a&gt; and $2,300 to &lt;a href=&quot;/dome/profiles/john_edwards&quot;&gt;John Edwards&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(In fairness, Obama did not run for U.S. Senate until 2004 and Edwards was not a national figure until his presidential campaign that year.) &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The group&amp;#39;s leadership have worked with the Clintons as well. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Founder Page Gardner served as the deputy political director for Bill Clinton&amp;#39;s 1992 campaign, Joe Goode was a pollster for him, Mimi Mager served as a member of the Clinton transition team and John Podesta was chief of staff to President Clinton.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are some non-Clinton connections, too, including Obama supporters &lt;a href=&quot;/under_the_dome/womens_voices_calls_werent_malicious&quot;&gt;William McNary&lt;/a&gt; and Todd Webster and Edwards supporter Chris Dresser. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Asked by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ncinsider.com/&quot;&gt;The Insider&lt;/a&gt; about the connections earlier this week, Clinton&amp;#39;s state organizer Ace Smith acted offended.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;You&amp;#39;re asking me about something that has nothing to do with our campaign,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;This is getting to conspiracy talk.&amp;quot;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://southernstudies.org/facingsouth/2008/05/center-for-investigative-reporting.asp&quot;&gt;Hat Tip:&lt;/a&gt; Facing South &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
