Fed UP With Taxes: two million and counting

Friday, October 10h is a big day for PAC watchers.  This is the day that Political Action Committees must submit a report of their financial activities with the State Ethics Commission.

Most of the reports will be filed at the last possible moment, but I did notice that the Fed Up With Taxes report was available. 

And what a report it is!

According to the October quarterly report, the campaign has raised more than $1.5 million dollars.  That brings the total raised to just over two million dollars.  The big donors, and I mean BIG, are as follows:

  • Heineken USA $5,000
  • Coca-Cola Companies- $345,600
  • Anheuser-Busch $120,000
  • Pepsi Bottling Company Companies $869,743
  • Nestle Wasters NA $76,100
  • National Restaurant Assoc. $25,000
  • Dr. Pepper Snapple Group $106,425
  • Wine Institute $10,000
  • Wal-Mart $10,000

The campaign spent just over $1.2 million in Television, consultants, polling and mail, and they have $439,000 cash on hand at the end of the reporting period, which was September 30th.

PolitickerME's Jessica Alaimo will have much more on the PAC report, with reaction and comments from both sides.
