    So, nobody was busted, it's just a lawsuit making claims, none of which have been proven.
    It's ok if you disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    You understand the difference between a lawsuit, and an actual law enforcement action, right? Or are you just lying?

    A PAC can spend as much as they want to spend. The only thing they can't do is coordinate with the candidate.

    Another JAP thread blown up.

    "in kind contributions"...

    It is a head fake. Someone needs to put a short leash on the thugs.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.
