Norton, Romanoff or Wiens?
for his exploratory committee.
Thilly is probably talking about this guy.
Before you go hang “that guy,” or anyone else, please note that as long as a person is still “exploring,” he or she is not “running” and need not report anything.
Note that the above FEC release says “if you are running…”
FEC Rules are clear: whether you raise $5,000 or $500,000, you remain in “exploratory” or “testing the waters” phase until you declare otherwise or your actions reveal otherwise. See the FEC handbook at page 1-8 (PDF document): http://www.fec.gov/pdf/candgui…
Under these rules, actions that reveal you are a candidate include such items as (1) declaring your candidacy; (2) displaying materials that say you are a candidate; (3) qualifying for the ballot; (4) raising more money than needed to test the waters (not defined – so if you say I need to have 2,000,000 in the bank to make up my mind – that is not too much to raise).
If “exploratory candidates” need not report their fundraising numbers, then why do so many?
Most candidates voluntarily report their “exploratory” numbers to scare off their opponents or build excitement and momentum. Others decide to report their “exploratory” numbers to avoid the vagueness of the “too much money” rule.
Whether a candidate chooses to explore with or withhout reporting, please, let’s make politics about substance and making America better, not about paperwork errors or “Gotcha” games.
my campaign to become overlord of the universe?
$5,000 in your quest, I’d be impressed.
There’s more where that came from for the general.
