Do Democrats Plan Cargill Grand Jury Petition?

The administrator of the Democratic blog http://www.demookie.com/, Tim Reese, is trying to spur interest in a petition calling for a grand jury to "look into illegal campaign activities regarding Lance Cargill and the so called 'Victory Fund'." Reese kicked off the effort with a post on the blog today.

Ivan Holmes, chairman of the Oklahoma Democratic Party, apparently has not yet signed on to the effort. He has, however, criticized Cargill, saying, “Despite lip service about family values and morality, the culture of corruption in the Republican Party goes from the State House to the White House. Time and again they have broken the law and violated ethics rules in pursuit of power for the Republican Party, not for the good of Oklahoma or their constituents."

The Oklahoma Ethics Commission reportedly is conducting an investigation into the handling of donations in past campaigns.
