MODS PLEASE TELL ME HOW THIS IS AGAINST THE [FEDERAL ELECTION BOARD] thanks

How Much May Be Contributed

Your contributions1 to Federal candidates and committees are limited under the law. You, the contributor, and the committee to which you give are both legally responsible for making sure that your contribution does not exceed your contribution limits. The paragraphs below list the contribution limits for individuals.
Contribution Limits

An individual may give a maximum of:

$2,500 per election to a Federal candidate or the candidate's campaign committee.2 Notice that the limit applies separately to each election. Primaries, runoffs and general elections are considered separate elections.
$5,000 per calendar year to a PAC. This limit applies to a PAC (political action committee) that supports Federal candidates. (PACs are neither party committees nor candidate committees. Some PACs are sponsored by corporations and unions--trade, industry and labor PACs. Other PACs, often ideological, do not have a corporate or labor sponsor and are therefore called nonconnected PACs.) PACs use your contributions to make their own contributions to Federal candidates and to fund other election-related activities.
$10,000 per calendar year to a State or local party committee. A State party committee shares its limits with local party committees in that state unless a local committee's independence can be demonstrated.
$30,800 per calendar year to a national party committee. This limit applies separately to a party's national committee, House campaign committee and Senate campaign committee.
$117,000 total biennial limit. This biennial limit places a ceiling on your total contributions, as explained below.
$100 in currency (cash) to any political committee. (Anonymous cash contributions may not exceed $50.) Contributions exceeding $100 must be made by check, money order or other written instrument.

like AC2006 said:

somebody is going to prison

there were no limitations on donated amounts
in this Ron Paul money bomb.

It was advertised as being no limitations
which is in violation of Federal Law.

Oh I see, so the RevolutionPAC is fucked now b/c the limit should be $5,000 and not just no limit?

So I should change my thread title on here to $5,000 limit for SuperPAC?
I can't believe they did that!!!

OR JUST TAKE SUPERPAC OFF THE THREAD THEN?

you just don't get it do you ???

advertising no limits on donations
is only one offense.

another offense is accepting donations
through RevolutionPAC earmarked for
Ron Paul's campaign when they have
an independent charter with the FEC.
If they accept donations for Paul's
campaign, they have to designate it
with the FEC. They did not do this.
They are labeled as Independent.

If intent can be proven then you can
add conspiracy to commit election
campaign funding fraud.

These are 3 separate offenses.
best of my recollection.

but I am not an expert in
the matter.

on the RevolutionPAC website it says "NO LIMIT"!
So they lied and it should have a $5,000 limit!

then they are going to prison.
yes, they did lie.

if it was a lie to deceive
people out of their money intentionally,
then it's another fraud charge
including conspiracy.

Hey and I changed the thread info on page 1 take a look!

the website has not changed.
this is where the fraud would take place.

the proof will be to see how many
people went over their maximum
amount. they will have to be audited
by the FEC.

sad part is, most folks who contribute
to political campaigns do not know
there is a limit to how much they
can contribute. they are held equally
responsible. the PAC and the donor.

The new rules came in effect before the LAST election MORANS ... Now it is legal to raise money in a pac with no limits on contributions and spend it advertising for any candidate you want... Have you been living under a rock or what? The only rule seems to be that they cannot communicate with any campaign in any manner. In the last election 100's of pacs were formed and used for every candidate.
