Update:Conservative Party of California comments on Lee McGroarty Broken Campaign Pledge
We received a comment claiming to be H. Michael Hervey, President of the Conservative Party of California, commenting on Lee McGroarty breaking his Conservative Party pledge to post all campaign donations online. The IP address used to post the comment seems to confirm it is legit. It can be found below.
What is funny is that it claims McGroarty has complied with the "Spirit of the Pledge," but will adhere to the "Letter of the Pledge," once he adds more staff. It took us less than 10 minutes to post all of his donations that he reported to the FEC, but he needs to hire staff to add that information. We first pointed out this broken pledge nearly three months ago but apparently no one involved in the campaign can find 15 minutes to post the donations. I guess the Liberatore campaign is worse off than we thought because apparently they have not been able to find any campaign volunteers.
Also, how did he comply with the "Spirit of the Pledge," if he hasn't posted anything? The pledge is to post all donations online, so it is pretty straightforward.

Rep. Gary Miller on Radio with Ads
Just heard a Rep. Gary Miller ad on KKLA making him the second 42nd Congressional candidate to have radio ads. Phil Liberatore has been running radio ads for a few weeks and has been running television ads since last week.
The ad highlighted some of the awards Miller has received from conservative organizations.
I would usually attempt to link to the ad but Miller doesn't have a campaign web site.
Update: Rep. Miller is listed under the advertiser list so he may have been running the ads for awhile before I noticed. Who knows but I doubt they added it to the list at the same time I heard it.
Update #2: A comment posted by Frank the Tank claims the ads started today. Frank claims to have called the radio station to find out. We don't know who Frank is so we don't know if that information is accurate or not.

Lee McGroarty still not listing Campaign Donations
It has been more than a week since we posted about Lee McGroarty's broken campaign pledge for the second time, and he has not yet posted the list of his campaign donors. McGroarty is challenging Rep. Gary Miller, Phil Liberatore and David Su for the Republican nomination in the 42nd Congressional district.
When McGroarty was endorsed by the Conservative Party of California in February he signed a pledge that included, "to post all donations on my website."
The California Party of California's website states it "was created to rectify the consistent failures and corruption of the current two-party system. CPUSA will impose fiscal discipline, restrain the reach of the federal government as outlined in the Constitution and retain America’s traditional family values." The president of Conservative Party USA and Conservative Party California is Harold M. Hervey.
It may have been an oversight originally, but we have now posted a story about it twice. Once in February, and the other over a week ago. Every IP address that has commented on this blog as Lee McGroarty or the McGroarty campaign has been to the blog to read the story from last week and the one in February. So, McGroarty and his campaign are aware that they have broken the pledge.
One has to wonder why he hasn't listed them yet and why the Conservative Party of California doesn't appear to care their pledge has been broken?

Statement on Phil Liberatore's FEC Filing
This week we posted twice that the Phil Liberatore Campaign filed their FEC filing electronically with the FEC on April 19. That date is late, so we reported that they may be subject to a fine.
Today we received the following statement.
###
I am the campaign treasurer for the Liberatore for Congress Committee. I hereby inform you that our filing was submitted on-time and in compliance with FEC regulations and Federal law. We filed an electronic disk by overnight mail prior to the 11:59 pm EST 4/15/10 deadline, and filed again with the Electronic Filing Office on 4/19/10 for the convenience our FEC analyst Stephanie Shaw. Any statement to the contrary is erroneous and I must assume is made with malice toward my client. Please remove or amend your comments or I shall be forced to take legal action against this site for slander.
Louis G. Baglietto, Jr.
Campaign TreasurerLiberatore for Congress
###
While we understand the concerns of the Liberatore campaign, the FEC site still shows April 19 at 16:04 as the filing stamp. If that changes we will post a full retraction and change all posts related to this matter. We are simply going off of the FEC data available to the public. We don't know that the Liberatore campaign mailed something in until it is received. We stated that the Liberatore filed electronically in our posts. That is an accurate statement, the Liberatore campaign filed electronically on the 19th. Ultimately the FEC decides fines based on their information, not us.
We have made sure that every post says "may" and "if."
Hopefully this post, and our side of the story, addresses their concerns.

42nd Republican Primary FEC Review
All four candidates for the Republican primary in the 42nd Congressional district have now filed their fundraising totals with the FEC.
Rep. Gary Miller shows $1,053,383 cash on hand. During the 1st quarter he raised just under $400,000 and spent a little over $200,000.
Phil Liberatore raised $15,911, loaned his campaign $100,000 and spent $112,340. He has $3,570 cash on hand. Liberatore filed electronically four days late, so he may be facing a FEC fine. My understanding is that a fine is automatic since there are no exemptions for filing late.
Lee McGroarty raised $1700, loaned his campaign $8000, and spent $8179.32. He has 3070.77 cash on hand. His campaign now owes $27,030.16 in debt.
David Su raised $2151.43. He spent $1891.43 which leaves him with $260 cash on hand.
