Vicky Hartzler (r): FEC Pre-General Report (October 31, 2012)

Campaign Finance: Vicky Hartzler (r) – October quarterly report – farms (October 21, 2012)

At this point in the campaign federal candidates must file 48 Hour Reports on contributions of $1000.00 or more received within twenty days of an election with the Federal Election Commission. It always makes for interesting reading. This is the case in the 4th Congressional District race with Teresa Hensley (D) and incumbent Vicky Hartzler (r). The reports (to date) for Vicky Hartzler (r):

by U.S. Rep. Ed Whitfield (KY-01)

Jun 21, 2012

I’m beginning to think that President Barack Obama believes he is an “Imperial President,” that he has to answer to no one else, and that there are no other branches of government.  

The campaign critic of extending executive power has now issued more than 100 Executive Orders….

That could explain this.

GOP Rep: Obama Impeachment ‘Needs To Happen’

By Tanya Somanader on Aug 9, 2011 at 11:20 am

At a town hall meeting yesterday, a Tea Party member urged Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX) to bring impeachment proceedings against President Obama in the House. Burgess replied, “It needs to happen, and I agree with you it would tie things up…No question about that.” When asked to clarify, Burgess said he wasn’t sure what the proper charges to bring against Obama would be, but reiterated his support for such a move. “We need to tie things up,” he said. “The longer we allow the damage to continue unchecked, the worse things are going to be for us.” Burgess joins numerous House Republicans in their impeachment-saber rattling.

That Congressman Pete Sessions (r)? [from 2008]:

PACs put the fun in fundraising

by Steve Henn

Marketplace for Tuesday, July 22, 2008

[….]

Sessions: That’s right, we do a Las Vegas fundraiser every year and not only raise money, but see Las Vegas. It’s a beautiful town.

Henn: Forty Deuce is a strip club.

Sessions: You know, I’ve never seen that. It is what I would call a burlesque show where there’s a woman who comes out and has a dress on… Uh, she never get’s naked. There’s no nudity, there’s no nudity in there.

[….]

And here we all thought PAC money was raised at local bake sales. Evidently not. The local and bake sale parts, that is.

If karma or your personal deity has a sense of the absurd they/it will make Sarah Steelman our next U.S. Senator. Then again, the same could be said for John Brunner and Todd Akin.

In about two weeks we’ll know which one of the three right wingnut republicans makes it through to the November dance. Meanwhile, it’s anyone’s guess.

For your reading pleasure, I offer the text of the latest press release from Claire McCaskill’s senatorial campaign below. For a little context, note that McCaskill isn’t a Johnny-come-lately to the issue of campaign financial disclosure; as her press release notes, she was an early supporter of legislation, such as the failed Disclose Act, that would have required corporations to disclose their political donations, and has consistently decried the effects of the Citizens United decision.  

Nor is McCaskill alone in her concern about the efforts of anonymous corporate entities to buy the election in 2012. Yesterday, the Obama re-election campaign entered the fray against Carl Rove’s Crossroads GPS, asking the Federal Election Commission to require the Rove organization to register as a political entity and disclose its donors. For the record, Crossroads, along with the Chamber of Commerce, mounted early, intense and patently dishonest attacks on McCaskill. We’ve written about the nasty situation here and here.

McCaskill Calls on New SuperPAC to Disclose Its Donors

McCaskill has consistently called for greater transparency, disclosure in campaign finance



St. Louis, Mo.-The McCaskill for Missouri campaign released the following statement today in response to news reports about a new SuperPAC called “Heart of America” PAC.

“Claire is adamant – outside groups need to disclose their donors and the same goes for groups looking to support her, if not more so,” said Erik Dorey, McCaskill for Missouri spokesman. “Whether they’re secret money groups that are never required to disclose, or a group like this one that has quarterly reporting requirements, Claire is making herself crystal clear: disclose your donors.”

Claire has consistently called on outside groups to disclose their donors and has repeatedly decried the Citizens United ruling that allowed some groups, such as Karl Rove’s Crossroads GPS, Americans for Prosperity, the Chamber of Commerce and 60+, to raise unlimited funds without ever disclosing their donors.

In January, Claire sent a letter to all three of her opponents asking them to join her in calling on any outside group that spends money in this race to disclose their donors and she stands by that today.

Unfortunately, none of her opponents ever responded to Claire’s letter, or her challenge to outside groups.

According to the News-Leader, this new group indicated it is planning to disclose its donors when quarterly reporters are due July 15.

I assume that none of you missed the part of McCaskill’s missive about the failure of all of her opponents to respond to her invitation to stand up for honest and transparent election funding? Of course, we all know that integrity is in short supply in the political world – but when did it become okay to just ignore a challenge to one’s supply of same and hope nobody notices?

Um, it’s a little too early, don’t you think?

Missouri Eagle Forum is an organization well known for its ideological self righteousness.

Mission Hills, Kansas? Don’t they already have their own right wingnut representing them in Congress? And they have to go and invest in ours?

So much for the myth of the liberal university professor. It don’t get much more right wingnut than Vicky Hartzler (r).

Those Blunts?

What would be a decent ratio of consulting fee to actual result? Just asking.

Teresa Hensley, the Democratic Party candidate in the 4th Congressional District, had a very good fundraising quarter. In her first quarter campaign finance report filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) on April 11, 2012 she reported raising $248,648.16 in net contributions with $234,814.56 cash on hand. The campaign had operating expenditures of $13,583.60.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t believe Kansas residents vote in this race. Besides, don’t they have their own right wingnut in Congress?

It’s interesting to note the number of and amount in contributions that came in on the next to last day of the quarter.

Dave Spence? Isn’t he spending millions somewhere else? There must be a connection. Oh yeah, right wingnuttery and home economics.
