Democratic congressional candidate Patty Weiss said Friday that she may file a complaint
with the Federal Election Commission because of a recent push poll that inaccurately links
her and her family to the pharmaceutical industry.

Weiss, who is running in District 8, said her campaign headquarters has been flooded with
"dozens and dozens" of calls since the poll began. The poll allegedly asks respondents if
they would still vote for Weiss if they knew she had received large amounts of funding
from pharmaceutical companies. Another question allegedly suggests her husband,
Dr. Alan J. Gelenberg, head of the University of Arizona's Department of Psychiatry,
has deep connections with pharmaceutical companies.

Both questions are inaccurate, Weiss said.

"As far as we know they are calling the entire district," she said.

This stuff really angers me.
I think pollsters should be required to reveal who funds s*** like this.
