RNC First Quarter Fundraising Down 27% From 2009
Breitbart.com ^ | 4/24/13 | Michael Patrick Leahy

Posted on 04/24/2013 1:27:36 PM PDT by cotton1706

On Friday, RNC Chairman Reince Priebus, announced the RNC raised $18.02 million during the first quarter of 2013, 27% less than the $25.2 million in receipts the RNC reported in the first quarter of 2009. Both reports were filed to account for contributions and expenditures in the first full quarter after a Presidential election.

In the first quarter of 2009, Republicans had just lost the White House for the first time in 8 years. The Democrats controlled both the House and the Senate in Congress. President Obama's approval rating was over 60%. The party still managed to raise more money than it did this year in the comparable reporting period.

Breitbart News's review of FEC records showed that the RNC's total receipts for the first quarter of 2013 were $18.3 million, slightly more than the $18.02 million announced by Priebus. Of this $18.3 million, a total of $16.0 million came from individual contributions, with the remaining $2.3 million coming from transfers from related committees and other sources.

In the first quarter of 2009, $17.4 million of the $25.2 million in receipts came from individual contributions, while $7.8 million came from transfers from related committees and other sources.

Looking at individual contributions only, the decline was a less dramatic 6%.

In its Friday press release, the RNC compared its first quarter 2013 fundraising results with the first quarter of 2011. According to the statement, first quarter 2013 total raised was $18.02 million, $920,000 (or roughly 5.5%) more than the $17.1 million it said was raised in the first quarter of 2011.

I've gotten any number of calls from the RNC asking for money. I've given them an earful every time. I told them I give money to conservative CANDIDATES only, never the party because look at who they're funding: John McCain, Mitt Romney, Arlen Specter, Lisa Murkowski, etc. Less money to the RNC, less payoffs to moderates and liberals!

I do exactly the same.

Maybe, just maybe, if the republicans stop pissing on all us conservatives they can rebuild the party.

But I’m afraid the leadership there is too set on being democrat lite (all the socialism but none of the substance). Rand Paul is the only republican with balls it seems. and He’s a libertarian!

Same here. And I must admit, I was quite rude with them. They tried to sweet talk me and felt I had no choice but to tell them to go eff themselves and hang up.

Yes, I did curse at them. Is it polite? No. I am DONE with being polite. Been there done that. Look where it got us.

When Republican Senators are helping to craft legislation for gun control and immigration amnesty, it’s not difficult to see why Republicans don’t want to contribute to the parties reelection coffers.

Agreed. I’d only give to conservative candidates or Sarah Palin’s PAC. The RNC is no friend to conservatives.

What's the use giving more money to the RNC. It is useless funding a losing bunch of immature fools that do not have the gonads to fight the communists empire that is controlling America. We are and will continue to be destroyed and it would seem that the worst enemy we have is the corrupt communists controlled MSM. America is finished and talking will never win..

Hey RNC... I found that money you’re missing. And I’m buying bullets with it.

Oh, I don’t worry about being polite. While I understand that the peron calling me is not respnsible, I want them to pass the anger on up the chain, so they get the message. When they start spouting the bull, I cut them off, go down the list of the losses, don’t let them get a word in, and hang up.

That’s what happens when you blow off your base. I’m sure the Mexicans will open their hearts and wallets to the GOP after amnesty....

The RNC fundraiser who called me about 10 days before last year's election lied. He said the RNC gave money to, among others, Michele Bachmann.

Slipping immediately into sailor verbiage I thought I had forgotten, he was informed of my thoughts about the GOP establishment in no uncertain terms.

We do the same thing: contribute to PAC’s. At least you know where your money is going to exactly.

I will never give another penny to the RNC, and haven't for years.

I donate directly to candidates.

I don't need Tokyo Rove or whoever spending my money against my chosen candidates.

Well, well, well, Mr. Rinse Dweebus . . . you elites should not have taken a machine gun to the real base of your party . . . true conservatives. I’ve played Charlie Brown kicking a football with you kleptomaniac clowns long enough. You will get no more of my money with your bait and switch tactics.

Mega dittos! I used to try and be polite. Not anymore. I actually feel sorry for the person calling me, lol.

I still believe in a polite society; however, with these spineless terds, we can no longer afford to do so.
