The big question, how is Jim Nielsen tied to all these acupuncture businesses? After calling nearly 20 businesses, TWO actually picked up the phone and said they were familiar with Mr. Nielsen.
One man actually said Mr. Nielsen was a supporter of acupuncture, and in turn, he supports Jimmy. A woman I spoke with had said she had heard of the name before, but the man who I wanted to talk to was with a patient and would be unable to call me back because he was leaving for China. I asked why he was leaving to China. She said it was none of my business, which she's right, and abruptly hung up on me.
Still my interest was piqued. Turns out, though, a one James Nielsen is an advisory member of the National Oriental Medicine Accredidation Agency. Get this, his wife, Marilyn Nielsen, used to work for the California Acupuncture Board as their Executive Officer.
I'm not willing to give it all up just yet, but it appears (at least from some initial research) this may be legit. My guess is these businesses are somehow associated with the NOMAA and were contacted to contribute to Mr. Nielsen's campaign once it was known he'd be running for state assembly.
I actually just got off the phone with someone from NOMAA who gave me the rundown on how Jimmy-boy got involved with acupuncture. Yes, it most likely was through his wife's activity. Don't see a whole lot else here, unfortunately. Damn!
