Talk:Gaddi Vasquez

message: The previous version of this article was highly POV, including a statement that Mr. Vasquez donated $100,000 to Bush's campaign.  This of course would be a blatant violation of federal election law that limits individual donations to $2,000 per person per candidate, and would have certainly prevented his confirmation and probably put him in federal prison.--Rogerd 21:21, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)

Dear Rogerd,
You should not make assumptions based on the way you think things should be:  The fact is that Gaddi Vasquez did make a $100,000 contribution to the Republican National Committee in the 2000 election by funneling funds that he had in his campaign chest from his previous run for Orange County Supervisor to the Republican National State Elections Committee.  He used a loophole in the campaign law to "roll over" his own campaign funds to the RNC.
If you want "proof" from a primary source, go to the Federal Election Commission web site and do a search on "Vasquez":
http://www.fec.gov/finance/disclosure/norindsea.shtml
and you will see
VASQUEZ CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE,
NEWPORT BEACH, CA 92660
   RNC REPUBLICAN NATIONAL STATE ELECTIONS COMMITTEE
	07/27/2000 	100000.00 	20035953902
 
Next time please don't be so quick to delete material because you "know" the world is flat. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 151.196.25.123 (talk • contribs) 15:37, February 23, 2006  (UTC)
:The material that I removed said that he "donated $100,000 to Bush's campaign" .  That is considerably different than rolling his campaign money to the RNC, a fairly common and legal practice of politicians of both parties (of course, the Democrats roll to the DNC).  So I am not making "assumptions based on the way you think things should be".  --rogerd 01:51, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
