Comments on Local GOP Chairman Flouts Fundraising Rules
Matt Manweller? That sounds like a gay pornstar name.
How much odds that they don't get fined for breaking the law?
You are an idiot. Clearly in that context, "bundle" means to put all of the separate checks in an envelope "bundled" with a rubber band. Otherwise -- in order to fulfill your desire for illegality -- they would have to make the checks out to the Republican Party, not "Dino Rossi for Governor" as they ask.
@ 3, read the rules again. Even if bundling means what you say, it's still illegal.
@3,
Read the rules:
"Political committees, businesses, unions, and organizations (or people representing them) are prohibited from collecting contributions from various sources..."
Manweller is the Chairman of the County GOP. What he described in his e-mail, according to the PDC, is against the rules. And they told him so.
Chris, what part of "Political committees, businesses, unions, and organizations (or people representing them) are prohibited from collecting contributions from various sources (commonly known as bundling) and delivering or transmitting those bundled contributions to a candidate or political committee." don't you understand?
What does it matter? The Rossi campaign has already proven that there are no REAL election laws in this state, not ones with, you know, penalties when you get caught breaking them and stuff. Rossi wouldn't get fined if he robbed a bank.
Very true, Fnarf.
@3: It's best not to lead with an insult unless you know you're right. You aren't. This is clearly bundling of donations and is clearly illegal. Nothing terrible is likely to happen, although Mr. Manweller will be pretty embarrassed when he finds out that he sent a letter to his membership asking them to perform an illegal act.
How come Rossi couldn't collect contributions while a private citizen at the same time Gregoire was? Under the same rules as Gregoire.
Not that I can understand why the 7th highest paid athlete on Earth cares about these nickels and dimes anyway.
