Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

The Senate committee investigating campaign finance abuses yesterday focused again on the activities of Democratic fund-raiser John Huang. Republicans questioned why Huang frequently left his Commerce Department office and walked across Pennsylvania Avenue to use an office belonging to an Arkansas investment banking firm.

Taped excerpts:
• Senator Susan Collins, a Republican from Maine, questioning Paula Green, a secretary at Stevens Incorporated.
• Senator Max Cleland, a Democrat from Georgia.
• Senator Robert Torricelli, a New Jersey Democrat, questions John Cobb, a researcher for the Governmental Affairs Committee.
