Face it, you don’t know the law and instead of doing some quick research, you just toss out lies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-10306341944793189272007-04-18T09:55:00.000-05:002007-04-18T09:55:00.000-05:00Trevor,<BR/><BR/>Quit posting anonymously.

Being "pretty sure" isn;t enough.<BR/><BR/>In reality, according to 11 CFR 100.5 and 11 CFR 102.1, political committees (including state PAC’s and state candidate committees) can make federal contributions in aggregate of up to $1,000 per calendar year without having to register as a Federal Committee, as long as the committee can reasonably show that they had the means from legal contribution sources for federal contributions. So, if Sen. Wyss’ campaign committee gives $1 more to McGoff or any other federal candidate before December 31, 2007, they will have to register as a federal political committee (as an PAC). As long as they can show that they have historically received more than $1,000 in individual contributions (which shouldn’t be that difficult considering how long he’s been around), then it is not illegal for him to contribute as an unregulated committee, and it isn’t illegal for McGoff to accept it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-18969341067678964662007-04-17T08:56:00.001-05:002007-04-17T08:56:00.001-05:00Yes, I think the Wyss Campaign committee is a state one. He's never run for federal office. He should be called out for giving an illegal contribution, and McGoff should be as well for accepting it. They should both know better!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-18413857160265417622007-04-17T08:56:00.000-05:002007-04-17T08:56:00.000-05:00I think under FEC rules, federal campaigns can take up to $1000 from state-level campaign committees.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-45947857704825207902007-04-17T07:13:00.000-05:002007-04-17T07:13:00.000-05:00Danielle Sarkine is Burton's daughter (as seen in the link below). I'm curious as to what exactly she does for his campaign. <BR/><BR/>http://www.autismindiana.org/NL200004.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-18076840438627360282007-04-17T07:07:00.000-05:002007-04-17T07:07:00.000-05:00The report lists that contributions as follows:<BR/><BR/>Senator Tom Wyss Election Campaign<BR/>2208 Lane 105 Lake James <BR/>Angola, Indiana 46703<BR/><BR/>I'm assuming that is his state-regulated campaign committee because he is a state senator.

Federal candidates cannot accept money from state campaign committees due to their ability to raise unlimited personal and corporate contributions. It's like money laundering!<BR/><BR/>I'm pretty sure this means McGoff already took an illegal contribution... Has no one else noticed this? Why can't Republicans get this right?<BR/><BR/>At least he'd fit in with the Washington crowd...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
