Urgent PUMA needs help to get Obama investigated by the FEC for his contributions
Dear Puma PAC,
We have one last chance to urge the FEC to audit the Obama campaign finance reports. The very good news is that Congressional Quarterly and American Thinker have both picked up on our efforts.
See here:
http://www.cqpolitics.com/wmspage.cfm?docID=news-000003004942Because of us, the story of the millions and millions of dollars in shady campaign contributions is not being brushed under the rug.
The FEC is meeting this week to discuss changes to its oversight processes. Please send them an email and call today and tell them to "Audit the Obama Campaign!"
The election is over. We are NOT trying to rehash old battles. The issue here is FUTURE elections. After $750 million dollars of money raised from undisclosed donors, foreigners, and corporate bundlers, Obama has blazed the trail for future candidates to simply bypass public funding and BUY the Oval Office. It is unacceptable, and only the threat of an audit will keep these politicians honest.
Simple follow the instructions below to send your letter and call.
Thank you and Good Luck,
Murphy.

RE: Audit for Cause
Dear Commissioner,
I am writing to URGE you to open an audit “for cause” of the Obama for America Campaign (FEC Registration # C00431445) and the Obama Victory Fund (C00451393). I am a member of Puma PAC, People United Means Action, a democratic reform movement of grass-roots voters.

Publicly funded candidates know they must be able to account for their finances. But what happens when there is no audit mandated?
President-elect Barack Obama spent a record $741 million on his campaign but has disclosed donors for only $485 million of his windfall. Many of those donors are subject to questions about exceeding campaign donation limits and being legitimate donors. His campaign spent $309 million on Broadcast Media (versus $63 million by the McCain Campaign) while groups like ACORN received funding and abused voter registration processes.
In addition to the $255 million from undisclosed donors, our studies (MUR 6142) of the reports filed with your agency, by the Obama Campaign, through the Post-General Report, show the following irregularities in their submissions:
· $2 million -- Approximately, in contributions over the $4,600 limit
· $26 million -- Contributions over the $2,300 per campaign limit, reallocated without contributor affirmation.
· $4-6 million -- Contributions from Foreign Addresses (over 4,000 contributors)
A total of more than 2.5 million donor transactions were submitted to the FEC, with some donors having hundreds of transactions. Many records showed errors on city, state and zip code information and a single donor could have several name variations. Some of the records were flagrant trash like JFGGJJFGJ, JGTJ and KHV, KHV and HKVKV, K VKN K V and HDUSAHFD, DAHSUDHU. Numerous donors had a single letter given for their last name. Others were listed as ANONYMOUS. Our personal favorite was the contributor Doodad Pro, whose occupation was “Loving” and employer was “You”. The records show 1565 transactions from him.
The numerous campaign limit exceedances, large expense/receipt discrepancy and questionable donor record reporting all warrant audit of the Obama Campaign Finances. The American People need an audit of the Obama for America (C00431445) and Obama Victory Fund (C00451393).
We are depending on the FEC to assure compliance with fair practices. Please audit the Obama Presidential Campaign Funds.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
Sincerely,
Your Name and State
