When will Markey, Salazar, Perlmutter and Udall return contributions to disgraced Charlie Rangel?

Congressional Democrats around the country are rushing to donate to charities the contributions they received from Charlie Rangel (D-NY), who has been deposed as chairman of the powerful Ways and Means Committee. They know the money is tainted by his multiple ethical violations. But, so far, Betsy Markey (CD-4), John Salazar (CD-3), Ed Perlmutter (CD-7) and Senator Mark Udall haven't announced what they'll do with the money they received from Rangel. The Colorado GOP says: "According to Federal Election Commission records, Markey took $7,000, Salazar took $3,000, Perlmutter took $9,000, Mark Udall took $10,000, and the Colorado Democratic Party took $10,000 in contributions from Rangel's House campaign account and his National Leadership PAC over the past two election cycles." Why are Colorado Democrats so slow to disown Rangel and return his contributions?
