LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Sen. Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas is giving money received from Goldman Sachs' political action committee for her re-election bid to charity as the investment bank faces federal fraud charges.

Lincoln's campaign announced Tuesday she would give $7,500 to the Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance. Lt. Gov. Bill Halter has criticized Lincoln for accepting money from the bank. Halter is Lincoln's chief rival for the Democratic nomination.

Lincoln decided to give the money to charity rather than back to the firm's PAC for redistribution.

Pathetic and desperate.

She is still doing what she wants with the money. The only correct thing to do is return it to Goldman Sachs.

Blanche...it’s way too late...for you.
