State Rep. Stacey Campfield has long said he wouldn't accept PAC (Political Action Committee) contributions; he just posted it again on his website blogspot account.

So, has he accepted PAC cash? Lets take a look and see.

Not directly. Instead, The Tennessee Republican Caucus continues to redirect tens of thousands of dollars in PAC contributions to Campfield. Here are the numbers up to the end of the last reporting period:

State Rep. Kelsey - $100 on 7-2-2006
State Rep. Casada - $250 on 5-1-2006
State Rep. Clem - $500 on 6-30-2006
State Sen. Beavers - $1000 on 6-28-2006
State Sen. Beavers - $1000 on 9-29-2006
State Rep. Dunn - $100 on 6-29-2006
State Rep. Dunn - $500 on 9-27-2006
State Rep. Dunn - $1000 on 9-27-2006
State Rep. Davis - $500 on 6-5-2006
Tennessee House Republicans Caucus - $5384 on 9-28-2006
Tennessee House Republicans Caucus - $5850 on 9-25-2006
Tennessee House Republicans Caucus - $5384 on 9-25-2006

Each and everyone one of these Republican contributors took PAC Cash and then gave a contribution to Stacey Campfield. Campfield is claiming he hasn't taken any, and he has. He is claiming this PAC FREE status so he can appear 'above it' when debating the issue with Pettigrew, who has been successful in funding her campaign to beat Campfield.

In truth, Stacey Campfield is deceiving people about not accepting PAC cash. This list shows that there was a concerted effort to get that PAC cash to him. I think we'll coin a new term for him: PAC-CASH-by-proxy. Yeah, it is a mental illness, you know, like munchausen.

It is time to stop Stacey Campfield.

I'm not opposed to PAC money...

But I am opposed to hypocrisy. If you're going to crow about not taking PAC money, then you should not take PAC money... in any form. Otherwise, it's just glorified money laundering.

As for them appearing on the show tomorrow, I think I may just call in and ask Stacey about the liens against his properties that are mentioned in Schree's ads. It would be interesting to hear him defend that one...

Liens for what?

Wow. Schree just sat through two hours (The Voice extended the show) of right-wing babel with Campfield, Loyd et al.

It was obvious that the callers were stacked in Campy's favor, but Schree stood her ground. Good Job!

Think simpler. This isn't a case of Cash-by-Proxy, even.

The House Republican Caucus is itself a PAC.

See for yourself:

They're listed as a PAC with the TN Registry of Election Finance.

Liens

Campfield doesn't like to pay his property taxes. He's had liens placed on his properties for non-payment of taxes.

funny

It riles me that these guys (Stacey, and his GOP groupies) walk around talking about morals, family values and Christian beliefs while they shirk their own responsibility.

Doesn't he own some type of 'video gaming' machines too. It would be interesting to see if he is claiming that as income and paying taxes on it.

It's time for a 6 pack and it is only Monday.
