…where there is smoke?
Sources tell us that a slew of complaints have been filed against the “Reagan Republicans”, “The Strategery Group, Inc.” and various candidates, regarding violations of Federal election laws.
We have obtained a copy of the F.E.C.’s response to one such complaint:
What action, if any, will be taken by the F.E.C., remains to be seen, but our questions are (the first two anyway):
“What about State Election Law violations? Why didn’t the “Reagan Republicans” file as a political committee, BEFORE they undertook to “endorse” candidates? Why have the candidates that were “endorsed” not demanded that the “Reagan Republicans” conform to state law?
And another thing – Exactly who are these guys who have been calling themselves “Reagan Republicans”? (Ok, technically that’s 4 questions, but who’s counting?…that makes 5…we’ll stop now.)
WWRT? (What Would Reagan Think?) Tsk, tsk, tsk!
Remember the old adage…”When it rains it pours!”? Well, let’s just say an umbrella ain’t gonna help with this one!
(Thanks for the comment Mr. G! and thank eagle eye for us!)
I wonder what its like when some suit knocks on your door, “Hi, I am agent so and so from the FEC, I am here to help you.”
On second thought, I wonder what it is going to be like for those poor endorsed candidates when the same guy knocks on their door.
(Note from Chester: Or the AG, or the SOS, or the County Clerk, or the County Prosecutor…wait, he was endorsed by them…scratch that one!)
