The DFL Party says GOP Sen. Norm Coleman should divest campaign donations made by employees of DCI, a lobbying firm that did work for Myanmar's junta.
AP says Coleman's folks rejected the call, saying the contributions were legal.
The DFL Party's call comes after a Minnesota Monitor story pointed out the donation. On Sunday, the coordinator of the Republican National Convention quit his post after Newsweek reported that his firm (he's the CEO of DCI) was paid to represent Myanmar's junta.
