political scams

2007-07-26 15:58:52.310923+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

The "Californians for Obama" organization is run by a Republican, and the Obama campaign has seen no proceeds from its fundraising. Check out those organizations closely before you donate, folks...

But a Chronicle examination of the latest Federal Election Commission records on file for the organization for the reporting period ending June 30 shows that while Cash has raised nearly $10,000 this year, not one dollar has gone to the Obama campaign -- or any other political candidate.

Indeed, nearly two thirds of the group's 2007 funding has already been paid out either to Cash himself -- for listed expenses such as salary and travel and snacks -- or to his organization's accounting firm, Burbank-based Durkee & Associates. Other expenses include U.S. postage and signs, the records show.
