Great Moments in Campaign Finance Disclosure

Complying with Federal Election Commission regulations can make some committees cranky, but rare is the one that threatens legal action if the FEC doesn’t acknowledge that its non-filing is, in fact, a proper filing. Let me introduce you to the American Promise PAC’s “April Quarterly report” (emphasis mine):

April Quarterly Report- 
 
No Contributions 
No Expenditures 
 
Cannot file a Form 5 as my FEC number C00513887 does not qualify. 
This is an official submission of my quarterly reporting requirement, 

and should be considered as such.  

 
The failure to timely acknowledge this report as the true and correct 

April Quarterly Report 2/28/2012 - 3/31/2012 required for the 

American Promise PAC may result in civil money penalties assessed 

against the FEC. Thank you for your cooperation. 
 
Sincerely, 
Gerard Tobin Owen Drumm 
American Promise PAC

Your move, FEC.
