email campaigns

Could this be the secret to the online campaign success?
Yes, I’m sure.. Here is an article on it..

They’re who we technically vote for. They’re nominated by their party in a similar manner the presidential candidates are nominated. They wouldn’t campaign in exactly the same way, of course. In one respect, they’d be campaigning on behalf of their party’s candidate. There are laws in 24 states punishing faithless electors, and in Pennsylvania, the candidate nominates his/her electors to discourage faithless electors, so why not?

For all those who were running for president, and didn’t make it to the primary, who gets that money? Does the candidate keep it? Do they forward that money into the campaign of the person who is still in the running (in the same party)?

The Federal Election Commission has fined one of the last cycle’s biggest liberal political action committees $775,000 for using unregulated soft money to boost John Kerry and other Democratic candidates during the 2004 elections.

America Coming Together (ACT) raised $137 million for its get-out-the-vote effort in 2004, but the FEC found most of that cash came through contributions that violated federal limits.

The group’s big donors included George Soros, Progressive Corp. chairman Peter Lewis and the Service Employees International Union.

The settlement, which the FEC approved unanimously, is the third largest enforcement penalty in the commission’s 33-year history.

ACT, which ceased operations in 2005, was formed in late 2003 and rapidly deployed an enormous organization to do the retail-level grunt work of politics.

It opened more than 90 offices in 17 states from which it mobilized an army of more than 25,000 paid canvassers and volunteers to knock on doors, stuff envelopes and make phone calls urging voters to defeat President Bush and support Democratic or “progressive” candidates including Kerry, the Democratic presidential candidate.

The FEC dismissed allegations that that Kerry’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee violated campaign laws by coordinating with ACT or accepting excessive contributions from the group.

ACT was among a new breed of political committee, known as 527 groups, that stretched campaign finance rules on their way to shaping the 2004 elections.

Operatives used the 527s, named for the section of the IRS code under which they were registered, to spend money on politics outside the FEC’s purview.

But the groups have largely faded from the political landscape as the FEC has sought to rein them in. Late last year, commissioners handed down a total of $630,000 in penalties to three top 527s: Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, MoveOn.org and the League of Conservation Voters, and there are more complaints pending.

But the heads of two of the non-profit campaign finance reform groups behind many of the complaints, including the one that led to the ACT penalty, say it’s all too little, too late.

“This action comes more than three years after our FEC complaints were filed and nearly three years after the 2004 presidential election was held,” read a statement from Fred Wertheimer, president of Democracy 21, and Gerry Hebert, executive director of the Campaign Legal Center.

Plus, they argued, the fine “represents only a tiny fraction” of the amount ACT spent illegally on the 2004 elections.

Wertheimer also is involved in a lawsuit to compel the FEC to pass a set of comprehensive rules regulating 527s, without which he said the groups are likely to reemerge in the 2008 campaign.
Elli.
You are wrong on all counts. The swft boats were willing to debate and Kerry who by the way served him self in Nam would not as he is the lier.

Ask why if it were not true have they not been sued. Because if they are sued the swift boats will win and you know this also.

One more thing you wish to shut others up and but not your own lies.
Great for the Fed. Elec. Comm. Also Hillary is next with the S.F. case.

Outbursts of “Traitor!” “Terrorist!” and “Kill him!” have occurred repeatedly at McCain campaign events. Many participants have expressed anger and rage at Obama. McCain, his wife and Palin have fanned the flames of **** with statement like ‘Obama is palling around with terrorists.’

Do you feel these actions are appropriate for a Presidential and Vice Presidential Nominee?

Recently, we have heared the mention of Kill him (Obama) in the McCain campaign. McCain and Palin have been on the centre of this actions and they have not openly condermed this act. Recently, some persons at his campaigns have said they are mad at Obama. My question is for what and why? This campaign is breeding hatred. Are we now in Germany before the Holocust?

Here we go again. Another wacko ****** pastor is in Obama’s church hammering white people. The Catholic church needs to reprimand this priest for preaching ****. Where is the Archdiocese of Chicago and why haven’t they “defrocked” this ******….Recommend everyone email the Archdiocese to complain about this so called “priest”.

I just went on Obama’s website. I made a contibution of $15 using a credit card. I entered my name as “Obamaisa Liar” my address as “wheredoesthemoneycomefrom” and my email as “guess@who.net

The site did not ask for the card’s cvv number
and when I pressed enter it said:
Thanks For The Contirbution

———————————————————————————————
I did this to demonstrate that it is possible to send money to Obama’s campaign using phony information.
His site does not even confirm the card holders name!

There is evidence that the many small contributions in uneven amounts like $143.27 result from foreign contributions adjusted by currency exchange.
The Federal Election Commision ordered Obama’s campaign to return $33 thousand dollars from the Gaza Strip sent to his Obama store for t-shirts.

Has Obama set up his site to permit foreigners and their governments to contribute to his campaign?
If this is not happening then explain why so many of Obama’s contributions are in odd numbers.
The vast majority of ligitimate contributions would be for an even amount. $10 $15 $25 $50 $100 $200

Who gives an amount like $152.47
it is obviously a foreign contribution with currency exchange
Hey Doc Watson and anyone else who deosn’t believe me.. try it for yourself!

Is it legally possible to take steps have some ones presidential campaign shut down? What would these steps include?

I want Ralph Nader’s campaign shut down once and for all!

What is with this discrepancy between the AFP’s report and David Plouffe’s account of the amount of money the DNC and Obama Campaign had together at the end of June? The AFP reports that the DNC and the Obama Campaign have $92 million combined. Yet Plouffe says they have $72 million in a recent email. Which is right?

“In the month of June, supporters like you helped raise $52 million. And together with the DNC, we now have nearly $72 million in the bank.” David Plouffe, Campaign Manager, Obama for America

Thank you Latino for Clinton for McCain but I am looking for a confirmation of the actual numbers, not general attacks.
