Scott McAdams to Lisa and Teabagger Joe: I showed you mine, now you show me yours. Update!

McAdams Campaign Releases List of Donors, Urges other Candidates to do the Same

McAdams vows not to accept money from corporate PACs

U.S. Democratic Senate candidate Scott McAdams challenged his opponents to be more transparent with Alaska voters and to disclose the source of their donors by releasing the complete list of individual and political action committees (PACs) that have contributed to their campaigns.

“Alaskans need to know now, before the election, who is funding the Senate campaigns,” McAdams said. “Lisa has accepted startling sums of money from corporations and now openly touts the support of a new ‘Super-PAC.’ Meanwhile Joe’s fundraising is still hidden behind a maze of Tea-Party donors and Outside interests.”

McAdams is the only candidate to post his most recent donor list, dated October 15, on his website.

This action illustrates the inadequacy of existing federal election law. Furthermore, at the Alaska Dispatch candidate debate in Anchorage, McAdams vowed not to accept any money from corporate PACs now or when he gets elected.

“There is already a tremendous amount of special interest and corporate money in this Senate race,” McAdams said. “Unfortunately, it is very difficult for voters to find out who is giving to candidate’s campaign without the candidates themselves posting the information.”

Currently federal candidates are not required to file their Federal Election Commission (FEC) reports electronically. Instead, they are only required to mail in hard copies which the FEC then posts. This year the reporting deadline for post-primary quarterly FEC reports was October 15, 2010 and the reports have not yet been posted on the FEC website.

Well I for one would LOVE to see exactly who is donating to Murkowski and Miller's campaigns!

Wouldn't you?

Update:

McAdams campaign reaches million dollar mark!


In only 2 months, the Scott McAdams for U.S. Senate campaign has raised over $1 million in donations. Almost all funds have arrived in donations under $200. This statistic stands in sharp contrast with Scott’s opponents who rely on outside media buys and corporate public action committees (PAC’s). Facts about the McAdams campaign fundraising results:

Total amount raised August 5, 2010 – October 20, 2010: $1,010,000
Total number of donations: Over 12,000
Total number of people who donated $200 or less: 88%
Total number of Alaskans who donated: Over 3,900
Total amount donated by Alaskans: $538,000 (54%)

88% of donations were $200 or less.

Now THAT is a grass roots campaign! 

The Teabaggers brag that they are the grassroots campaign. But that is bullshit!

If Miller wants to prove he is not a corporate whore he needs to post HIS donor list.  If he fails to do that then we know that his campaign is funded by millionaires from outside trying to influence Alaska politics and get their hands on our resources to make themselves even richer.
