A company called W Spann LLC, formed on March 15th, has dissolved shortly after making a $1 million contribution on April 28th to Restore Our Future, a committee organized in support of GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney. According to corporate records obtained by NBC News, the business was formed by Boston-based lawyer Cameron Casey who, as she notes in her online bio on her employer’s website, specializes in “comprehensive estate planning advice to high-net-worth individuals and families.”
The company was dissolved on July 12th, two weeks before Restore Our Future made its first campaign filing. A spokesperson for Ropes & Gray, the law firm for which Casey works, told NBC News that “the firm won’t be making any comment on this matter at this time.” Also noteworthy: Rope & Gray represents Bain Capital, an investment firm formerly headed by Romney.
Adding to the mystery is the fact that the company’s purported address in midtown Manhattan has no records of such a tenant.
A little more about Restore Our Future: The “super PAC,” which maintains that it functions as a separate entity from Romney’s official campaign, was founded by three of Romney’s former political aides. A glance at the group’s website shows no mention of Romney specifically and instead simply notes that “It is time that we restore our future by supporting candidates who have worked in the private sector and created jobs, who understand the economy, and who believe in America, American workers, and American values.” It also claims that it is “Not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee.”
Then again, as NBC points out, Charles R. Spies, the group’s treasurer and Romney’s general counsel during his 2008 presidential bid, made it clear to The Washington Post that the super PAC has a very clear, definite goal:
lol, I actually had written "I don't think you understand' but I thought that sounded mean, so I meant to rewrite it as "I think you are misunderstanding'. I don't hate you, and you were being fairly civil so I was trying to soften my language. lol. If it had the added benefit of fucking with you, then I can only say the world is as it is lol.
I watched the same Colbert report you are referring to. I love him, he is a very funny guy. The need for keeping track of the money no longer exists. The reason being is that any American citizen, and any American company can donate all the money they want to a pac. The biggest reason for keeping track before was to ensure no one gave over a certain $ amount (which was unconstitutional). It is still illegal for foreigners to donate money to the pacs.
Also, they know who donated the 1 million dollars. It was a single person, Ed Conrad. I have to say that keeping track of private money transactions is questionable. but they already track it anyway. Any bank transaction over a certain amount gets reported. So the issue isn't 'where did the money come from', since the government already knows. The issue is that it is not a matter of public scrutiny. My tax return, my mortgage, my car loan, the receipts from my shopping trip, and my doctor bills are not public matters. Why would donations to causes I believe worthy be any different? Sure, if there is fraud suspected, the government should investigate. However, the people have no inherent right to know what any other citizen does with their money, just as I have no right to know who you voted for.
