Senator Returns iPod, Swears Off Technology

In the last six years, Senator Conrad Burns' campaign has taken $59k from TV/Music/Movie PACs, including $2k from the RIAA and Disney.More here.
He's also the 4th-highest recipient of entertainment industry money in Congress. So we started wondering if Burns' campaign has a new policy against accepting contributions from political action committees when they returned our iPod with this note [above].
Why not?
IPac's contribution is legal. It was submitted with all of the required paperwork. And it was paid for by ordinary Americans who care about balanced copyright and technology policy. We're sending his campaign a letter to clarify their policy on accepting contributions from PACs, and we'll let you know what they say. We hope their answer is that they're swearing off *all* PAC contributions, including the tens of thousands of dollars that they take from the entertainment industry!
