McCain 'breaks official spending cap'
Mon, 24 Mar 2008 19:37:12

Republican candidate John McCain
Republican presumptive nominee John McCain has ignored official campaign expenditure limits and has overspent millions in the primary.

According to spending reports filed last week by McCain's campaign, the Arizona senator has broken the limits set by the presidential public financing system.

Candidates such as McCain, who have committed to public financing, are only allowed to spend up to $54 million on the primary. McCain, however, spent $58.4 million.

This is while lawyers of the 71-year-old senator contend that the spending cap does not apply in the current situation.

They allege since the Republican hopeful announced after February 6's Super Tuesday victories that he would withdraw from the matching-funds program he had entered last year, the spending cap does not apply to him.

"The FEC regulations specifically state that candidates who do not receive public funding payments from the US Treasury are exempt from the primary spending ceiling," expounded one of his senior campaign officials.

Chairman of the commission David Mason, however, warned McCain last month that his withdrawal request had not yet been granted.

" McCain has 2 problems with this issue.

1: If the FEC allows Mccain to withdraw from FED matching funds he will be revoked from many delegates in states that he was able to be on the ballot without the required number of signatures therefore he will lose any delegates for him in those states.

2: If the FEC doesn't release him from matching funds he will be capped at 50 million dollars and will kill his run for president because he will not have the money to compete.

The problem is even more complicated than this. McCain used the matching funds eligibility to avoid having to collect signatures to qualify for ballot access in several states, including Ohio, Pennsylvania and Delaware.

Those state wins must be voided according to most experts on the issue. That means he does not have the necessary delegates.

Ironic that it was his law (McCain-Feingold) that got him in this mess.
McCain broke the law...

I was one of the people that have addressed this and did so on record on the radio.

You people can not wait for the FEC to rule on this.

The delegates in these states need to file the motion at their conventions for Mccain to be revoked of all his delegates in those states for failure to comply with election ballot state law requirements.

Find out if your state allowed Mccain to be on the ballot without obtaining petition signtures.

why not have DC courts move on the motion

With FEC out wouldnt the DC courts be able to rule on this.

Usually when the FEC does rule on something the DC courts you go next to for appeal.

I would think with them out that this should be a next step.

This would be smart for Dr. Paul to act on.

A challenge to review mccains state access in each state, his over spending and breaking the law, etc.

Might be a good way to get mccain feingold over turned.

Woot!

This McCain spending cap thing is...

getting better and better all the time. Really GREAT news - the best I've heard all day (all week for that matter!).

But this is getting more and more interesting and better and better as time goes by. It is certainly one of the most delightful "Catch 22's" that I have ever known. No matter which way McCain goes on this one he seems to be screwed either way. If he is allowed to withdraw - it will work against him and harm him. If he must remain under the program and abide by the cap - it will work against him and harm him.

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just the best damn news I have heard in a while and all new hope for Ron Paul!

Stick around folks because this one will ONLY get BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just call the FEC and find out what they are doing about this.

I just tried and got a message :(

The FEC can't do anything

The FEC can't do anything they do not have enough people to even debate it that's why it needs to be at the local level.

Dr. Steve Parent

certified letter on its way, now what?

I got the letter in the mail, should I try to get his office flooded with phone calls, try to get the press to run a story, or just let it play out from here?

Truth exists, and it deserves to be cherished.

contact every meetup head

contact every meetup head and delegate and have them form resolutions to revoked mccain from receiving any delegate votes at the national convantion for failure to comply with state election and ballot laws.

Dr. Steve Parent

OK

I was hoping to try to get him removed from the ballot - we have not had our primary yet. Any chance?

Truth exists, and it deserves to be cherished.

well that needs to be

well that needs to be brought up by the delegates when they are elected at the county conventions.

so become a delegate and then you can file resolutions to revoke mccain from obtaining any delegate votes at the convention.

Dr. Steve Parent

I mean off the Primary ballot

no delegates yet, no conventions yet. I want him off THAT ballot!

Truth exists, and it deserves to be cherished.

How to do this:

Find out if your state allowed Mccain to be on the ballot without obtaining petition signtures.

Thanks for the post...what an interesting election year...

HEY - HELP ME!!!

I have 1 hour and 40 minutes left to contest McCain's name on our ballot. I tried this morning, already got blown off once. Is there something more I can do?

Edit: I just called and said "I want to file an official complaint" and she laughed and said she would tell the Sec. of State. Any thing else I can try?

Truth exists, and it deserves to be cherished.

Even if you have to write it

Even if you have to write it on regular paper do it.

Dr. Steve Parent

File the complaint and send

File the complaint and send it registered mail to the sec of state you need it documented and you need receipt to confirm it. it will be dated and time stamped and make sure they time stamp it.

YOU NEED TO DO THIS AT THE POST OFFICE.

Dr. Steve Parent

Beating deadlines

is worlds of fun ;-)

In addition to the one I hand delivered this AM?

Today was the last day to get candidates certified, I hand delivered my complaint this morning. It was essentially the dailypaul post questioning McCain's eligibility, and an article about McCain's possible violation of FEC law. Should I drop the citizenship issue, and keep fighting or did I miss my chance? (I can't mail anything and have it arrive today.)

Truth exists, and it deserves to be cherished.

It doesn't have to arrive

It doesn't have to arrive just be sent plus you can file a complaint that you were ignored and get it on the record.

Hand delivery means nothing unless someone signed for it they could say they didn't get it.

You sent it registered/certified mail andthe can't dispute it.

Dr. Steve Parent

I'm on it!

Thanks!
