Wilkes, Wade: Still optimistic. Here are their and their wives contributions to federal candidates, PACs, and Party committees, in 2005-2006. Thanks to the Center for Responsive Politics:

WADE, CHRISTIANE MRS, MZM INC./V.P. FINANCE, 3/4/2005, $2,000, Goode, Virgil H Jr

WADE, MITCHELL J MR, MZM INC./PRESIDENT, 3/4/2005, $2,000, Goode, Virgil H Jr

WADE, CHRISTIANE S MS, 6/27/2005, $15,000, National Republican Congressional Cmte

WADE, MITCHELL J MR, 6/27/2005, $15,000, National Republican Congressional Cmte

WADE, MITCHELL J, MZMINC./CEO, 4/25/2005, $1,000, Wamp, Zach

Total for: WADE, $35,000, Dems: $0, Repubs: $35,000

WILKES, BRENT, GROUP W ADVISORS/PRESIDENT, 2/15/2005, $1,000, Hoekstra, Peter

WILKES, BRENT, GROUP W/PRES., 4/7/2005, $5,000, Superior California Fed Leadership Fund

Total for: WILKES $6,000, Dems: $0, Repubs: $6,000

Rep. Hoekstra of course heads the House intelligence committee. Zach Wamp and Virgil Goode are on the House Appropriations committee.

The amounts may be more modest, but I think people may generally be overlooking Wade's and Wilkes' consistent contributions over time to certain HIPSI members. I'm curious what business they might have had in front of that committee.
