Dictators for Obama?
Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - 09:11 Chris Kleponis/AFP/Getty Images Evangelical leader Gary Bauer leads the Campaign for American Values PAC, which produced the ad "Dictator Vote." President Barack Obama has the dictator vote, at least according to a super PAC run by evangelical leader Gary Bauer. Hours before Obama and GOP nominee Mitt Romney began a debate on foreign policy, Bauer’s super PAC released an ad with quotes from Cuba’s Fidel Castro, Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez and Russia’s Vladimir Putin, expressing their admiration for the president. “Obama secured the dictator vote,” the narrator says. “Does he have yours?” Bauer’s Campaign for American Values PAC has spent more than a half-million dollars on ads supporting Romney and opposing Obama. An August ad said Obama is “forcing gay marriage on the country.” Another accused the president of “bowing to Islam.” And a third ad asked, “Why was God booed by Obama’s delegates” at the Democratic ...

Super PAC quarterly report sheds light on donors
Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - 09:32 Win McNamee/Getty Images Super PACs reported their donors and funds raised for the third quarter Monday. A new batch of super PAC donor information arrived at the Federal Election Commission Monday, and among the top contributors was the nonprofit Americans for Limited Government, profiled by the Daily Disclosure on Monday after the organization released a Web video implying that Vice President Joe Biden was on drugs during last week’s vice presidential debate. Americans for Limited Government gave 86 percent of the $1.7 million received by Now or Never PAC , which has spent most of its money opposing the candidacy of Democrat Tammy Duckworth. Duckworth is running for U.S. House in Illinois’ 8th District. Super PACs report donors to the FEC monthly or quarterly. Super PACs that file quarterly are generally less well-known. For example, Restore Our Future , which favors Mitt Romney, brought in $9.4 million in August alone. American Bridge ...

Firefighters mad at Rep. Denny Rehberg over lawsuit
Tuesday, October 9, 2012 - 10:26 YouTube/Screenshot New ads, including this one from Majority PAC, make sure voters remember that Rep. Denny Rehberg, R-Mont., now a candidate for U.S. Senate , sued Billings and its fire department for fire damage to his property in 2010. U.S. Rep. Denny Rehberg cost taxpayers in his constituency more than $20,000 when he and his wife sued the city of Billings, Mont., and its fire department in 2010 for damage caused to their property during a fire. Two new ads from Democratic outside spending groups are making sure voters don’t forget. Rehberg, a Republican who is challenging Democratic Sen. Jon Tester, ultimately dropped the suit, but he was nonetheless hit over the Columbus Day weekend with the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee ’s “ Only Out for Himself ” and Majority PAC ’s “ Always There .” Rehberg and his wife sued the City of Billings and the Billings Fire Department for equipment and property damage during a 2008 fire on Rehberg ...

Veterans groups jump into U.S. Senate race in Arizona
Thursday, September 27, 2012 - 10:11 YouTube/Screenshot VoteVets and Majority PAC released "Uniform," which builds on a new line of attack against Rep. Jeff Flake, the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Arizona - that he does not support veterans. A new ad from a veterans’ outside spending group and a major Democratic super PAC accuses Arizona Republican Rep. Jeff Flake of failing to support members of the armed services. “Congressman Flake voted to send us to that war,” says Steven Lopez, an Iraq war veteran, in the new ad, “and then voted against us when we returned home.” Flake and former Surgeon General Richard Carmona, a Democrat, are facing off to replace retiring Republican Sen. John Kyl in an increasingly competitive race. “ Uniform ” from VoteVets Action Fund , a nonprofit, and Majority PAC draws attention to Flake’s vote against the 2008 GI Bill, which expanded benefits to Iraq war veterans. The bill, now law, provides tuition to public universities for ...

Issue ads make comeback
Wednesday, September 26, 2012 - 10:43 Mario Tama/Getty Images Americans for Prosperity's national bus tour, "Obama's Failing Agenda," accompanies a new issue ad campaign by the same name. Americans for Prosperity , a conservative nonprofit funded by the billionaire Koch brothers, launched a new issue advocacy campaign criticizing President Barack Obama Monday. The organization reported spending $205,000 on radio ads highlighting what the group calls Obama’s “failing agenda.” The buy will ramp up to $1.3 million, according a press release , with radio ads and calls to voters targeting 13 states. The campaign is coupled with a national bus tour. Issue ads can name a candidate but do not expressly advocate a yes or no vote. They must be reported to the Federal Election Commission as “ electioneering communications ” if, as with the new Americans for Prosperity spots, they come within 60 days of a general election. Issue advertising all but disappeared when a federal district ...
