'"RECEIVED Office of General Counsel FEDERAL ELECTIOH Federal Election Commission COHMISSION 999 E Street, N.W. Washington, DC 20463 ZfliODEC-6 PHZMZ IMMOOUfflKI PARTYqf Re: Complaint Against Arthur Robinson; Art Robinson for OFfijtBfisQF GENERAL OREGON Noah Robinson, Treaauren; Althouse Press; and the Oregon lostiGflUHSEL for Science and Medicine.
Dear Sir/Madam:
On July 7,2010,1 filed a complaint against Art Robinson and one of his businesses, Althouse Press, for violating 2 U.S.C. § 441b. Because additional facts have come to light. Complainant hereby filesthi s additional complaint againsl Robinson, under 2 U.S.C. § 437g(a)(l), for multiple additional rM violations of die Federal Election Campaign Act (the "Act"), as descrthed Kl below.
A. FACTS O fSI Arthur Robinson was a candidate for U.S. Congress from Oregon's Fourth Congressional District in the November 2010 general election. His principal campaign conunittee was Art Robinson for-Congress. His son is both the treasurer of the committee and Robinson's campaign manager. Though Robinson lost the 2010 general, he has indicated publicly that he plans to seek federal office again in 2012.^
As detailed in the first complaint, Robinson is the "publisher and editor" of a newsletter called Access to Energy. Attachments A, B. On information and belief, approximately 10,000 people subscribe to this newsletter. The initial complaint alleged that the business that prints the newsletter is registered with the-state of Oregon under the name Althouse Press, at 2251 Dick George Rd., in Cave Junction, Oregon - the same address identified as the Robinson's canspaign address oii his FEC reports. However, subsequent facts have come to light that suggest that the newsletter may be owned or financed, at least in part, by the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine ("Institute"). The Institute is a nonprofit corporation, also registered at 2251 Diok George Rd. in Cave Junction. Attachment C. Access to Energy has vsedmenaai address and website at the OISM.org web address, and the newsletter identifies Robinson as the President and Research Professor of the Institute. Attachments D, £.
Robinson also operates an entity he calls "Robinson Curriculum," which creates and sells home-schooling curricula. It is not clear what kind of business entity Robinson Curriculum is; a Westlaw search of state business filingsfo r "Robinson Curricuhun" did not yield any results. However, there is some 232 NEOth Avenue PoRland OR 97232 (503) 224^200 Iphonel ' See, ., Albany Democrat Herald, \ 174/10, available at (503) 224-5335 Ibx] http://www.democratherald.coin/news/local/article_f68437be-e829-l 1 df-8fS0- www.dpo.org 001 cc4G03286.html: KPIC.com, 11/3/10. available at . PRINTED IN-HOUSE http://www.lcpic.com/news/local/106616809.html. evidence that Robinson Curriculum is also owned and controlled by the Institute -in a prior edition of Access to Energy, Robinson himself noted that his home school curriculum was "produced by the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine." Attachment F. Robinson's biography on the Institute's website DBMOCB/mC boasts that "Approximately 60,000 American children use the Robinson home PARTYqf school curriculum."^ OREGON Throughout the 2010 election, Robinson has exploited his menagerie of associated entities to engage in dubious fundraising practices. As we reported previously, in the March and May 2010 editions of Access to Energy, Robinson sought funds for his congressional campaign and expressly advocated his election to Congress. See Attachments A, B. The March newsletter even indicated that campaign contributions could be sent to Access to Energy, P.O. m Box 1250, Cave Junction, OR Neither edition contained disclaimers indicating K who paid for them, or containing the FEC's "Best Efforts" language. Robinson •H publicly acknowledged that the cost of the newsletters were contributions to the (N Nl campaign, and he reported a $3303 in-kind contribution from himself to tiie campaign for "Newsletter Costs" on his 2010 Second Quarter Report
O Robinson subsequentiy mailed a fundraising solicitation letter, also witiiout "Best Efforts" language, on September 5,2010. Attachment G. Complainant believes that this solicitation was sent to the Access to Energy recipient list: Complainant was notified of this solicitation by an individual who subscribes to the newsletter and who received the solicitation. That individual did mi otherwise contribute or sign up to receive updates firom the Robinson campaign. Robinson has also used the Robinson Curriculum list to raise funds for his campaign. Between July 8 and October 28,2010, Robinson's campaign sent approximately 9 emails soliciting contributions and promoting Robinson's election. Attachment H. The bottom of these emails states that "You are receiving this email as a Robinson Curriculum customer" and one is firom a • robinsonbooks.com email address. None of these emails contained a "paid for by" or "Best Efforts" disclaimer.
Robinson's has also repeatedly failed to report tbe name and occupation of his donors, failing to do so in 30.1 percent of his original reports. See Attachment L. On June 24, he received a request for additional information, asking him to report this information and reminding him of the need to engage in best efforts. Yet, despite this warning, he has continued to omit contributor information from his reports and, even after filing amended reports, 27.9 percent of his entries failed to list employer and occupation information. Id. He received a second RFAI on October 5,2010. Robinson filed a response in which he explained his procedure for oblaining contributor information, but he did not fife any amendments providihg updated contributor information. 232NE9thAimius Portland OR 97232 Finally, according to Commission-records, Robinson appears to have (503) 224-8200 (Iphonei accepted over $70,000 in excessive contributions. Robinson reported receiving (503) 224-5335 [ted wwMMlpoArg
PRINTED IN-HOUSE 'See http://Www.oism.org/s32p21.htm. contributions of up to $9,600 for the election-cycle-to-date firom some donors. In other cases, Robinson received contributions in excess of $2,400 after the date of the May 18 Republican priniary, but did not attribute these to retiring primary debt. A chart of these excessive contributions are attached as DEMOGRATIG PARTY"/ Attachment I. OREGON For the first timethi s year, Oregon became one of several states to 'pGnmt "cross-nominatibn" - a process whereby a candidate may appear on the general election ballot as the nominee of more than one politicd party. Robinson sought the nomination of the Republican Party, the Independent Party of Oregon, and the Oregon Constitution Party. In a note attached to page 2 of his 2010 Second Quarter FEC report and in public remarks, Robinson noted that rvi he believed he could raise up to $2,400 for each one of these nominating m processes. Attachments J and K.^ •H B. ANALYSIS. fSI
/. Robinson Has Received Illegal Excessive Contributions O rsi The Act limits the amount of nioney that any person may contribute to federal candidates and their political committees. 2 U.S.C. § 441a(a). It is illegal for any person to contribute, and for any candidate to receive, contributions to candidates in excess of $2,400 per election. Id §§ 441a(a)(l), (f). A candidate may not receive contiibutions for a primary election after die date of the primary, except to the extent that he or she has net debts outstanding. 11 C.F.R § 110.1(b)(3)(i). It is also illegal for a candidate to solicit, receive or spend funds outside of the federal limits in coimection with a federal election. Id §§441i(e)(l)(A). As the attached chart demonstrates, Robinson received over $70,000 in excessive contributions. Attachment L Robinson reported receiving ^ * aggregate contributions of over $4,800 for the election cycle from 19 different donors. And 12 contributors made aggregate contributions exceeding $2,400 after the date of the May 18 Republican primary, without any indication that Robinson wais raising this to retire primary debt Though Robinson has indicated his belief that he was entitled to raise funds under a separate $2,400 limit for both the Independent and Constitution Party nominating procedures, the Commission has said otherwise. In Advisory Opinions 1994-29 and 1982-47, the Conunission found that candidates seeking the nomination of multiple parties in New York State could not raise funds
' Under Oregon law, only "major political parties" - this year, the Republican and Democratic parties - are qualified to nominate tiieir nommees through a state-administered primary election process. Or. Rev. Stat § 248.006(1); see also id, §§ 2S4.0S6.2S4.115. In 232 NE 901 Avenue contrast, minor political parties choose their nominees through their own internal party PMtland OR 97232 processes, consistent with its organizational documents. See id. § 248.009(1). State law (503) 224-8200 Iplnnel requires only that they file a certificate of nomination with the Secretaiy of State no later dian (503) 224-5335 (tax) die 70th day before the general election - this year, August 24,2010. Id. §§ 249.705, .722. The wwwjdpo.org Independent Party chose its nominee through an "intemet primary" vote on July 30,2010, while PRINTED IN-HOUSE the Constitution Party chose its nominee through a nominating convention on June 27,2010. under separate limits for each nomination sought. The Conunission explained: "The point of these regulations... is to equalize treatment, as much as possible, among major party candidates, minor party candidates, and independents with respect to the availability of contribution limits. The puipose is not to expand iATIC contribntion limit opportunities for major party candidates seeking more than PARTYo/ one party's nominatioir." FEC Adv. Op. No. 1994-29. Thus, tiierule s do not OREGON contemplate that a candidate seeking the nomination of multiple parties should be entitted to raise funds under a separate limit for each nominating process, whether or not those processes occur on the same date. See also House Document No. 95-44, at 40-41 (1977) ("[g]enerally, each candidate will participate in two elections: the primary... and the general election."). Even if Robinson were permitted to raise funds under a separate limit for the minor party nominating processes, he still would have accepted some excessive contributions. Contributors David E. Lawson; Darren Untiiank, Cliff Naser, and John Tomkins ail made contributions exceeding $2,400 afier the date of the Indepenclent and Constitution Parties' nominating processes. Thus, Robinson violated the Act by accepting contributions well in o excess of the federal limits. And he personally violated die Act by accepting and spending excessive fiinds. 2. Robinson May Have Received, and Althouse/the Institute and Robinson Curriculum May Have Made, Illegal Corporate Contributions Under thh Act, corporations are prohibited from making contributions or expenditures in connection with federal elections. 2 U.S.C. § 441b. Commission rules implementing this prohibition prevent corporations from using corporate resources to make or facilitate the making of contributions to candidates and political committees. 11 C.F.R § 114.2(f)(1). Facilitation includes the use of corporate lists of customers, clients, vendors, or others who are not in the restricted class to solicit contributions. Id. § 114.2(f)(2)(i)(C). While Robinson reported a $3303.00 in-kind contribution fix>mhimsel f to the campaign for "Newsletter Expenses," he may have still received an illegal corporate contribution. The facts suggest that some combination of Althouse and the Institute paid to produce tiie newsletter and own the mailing list to the newsletter. The cost of printing and mailing two 4-5 page newsletters, plus the cost of renting the list fiom the list owner, is likely in excess of $3303.00. If these excess costs were paid for by a corporate entity, he received an illegal corporate contribution.* • Robinson may have violated the Act again on September 5, when he sent another fundraising letter to the Access to Energy list. Assuming that the Institute or another corporate entity owns the iist, the use ef tiiis lbt for
232 NE 9th Avenue Rxiland OR 97232 * Because Robinson is the editor and publisher of Access lo Energy, and the newsletters (503) 224-8200 Iphonei consisted largely of Robinson^ editoriaiizations, rather than bona fide news, it does not fall (503) 224-5335 Ibxl within the Act's "press exemption." See 11 C.F.R. § 100.73; FEC Adv. Op. No. 2003-07 ("the www.dpo.org press exemption does not apply to any editorial or commentary appearhig in periodicals owned PRINTED IN-HOUSE or controlled by a Federal candidate"). fundraising purposes was illegal corporate fiusilitation. Because our July 7 complaint put Robinson on notice thiat the use of a corporate mailing list for fundraising was illegal, the Commission should investigate whether this violation was knowing and willful. DEMOGRAEIC PARTYqf And Robinson may have violated these provisions yet again - again OREGON knowingly and willfully - when, on Ootober 28,2010, he sent an email to the Robinson Curriculum list asking the recipients for campaign support and contributions. As described above^ Robinson Curriculum is not an entity registered with any state, and there is evidence that it is owned and controlled by the Institute. According to Robinson's own biography, this email list may number in the tens of thousands, as over 60,000 children have been taught using Robinson Curriculum's curriculum. Assuming that its list is owned by an incorporated entity, like the Institute, the unpaid use of the Robinson •H Curriculum email list for fundraising puiposes is illegal corporate facilitation. (M
i. Robinson Failed to Properly Report Contributions o r>i The Act requires that candidate committees report all contributions' and expenditures to the Conunission. 2 U.S.C. § 434. As described above, the value of using the Access to Energy and Robinson Curriculum mailing and .email lists to disseminate fundraising solicitations and campaign materials was an in-kind contribution to Robinson. Yet Robinson has not reported any such contribution on liis FEC report - even after Robinson reported similar prior uses. By not reporting those contributions, Robinson lias knowingly and willfully violated the Act. 4. Althouse/Institute and Robinson May Have Failed to Properly Report Bundled Contributions and Althouse/Institute May Have Illegally Bundled Contributions Commission rules require that conduits and intermediaries file conduit reports with the Commission, and that campaigns report eannarked contributions as such. See 11 C.F.R. § 110.6(c). As noted above, tiie March 2010 Access to Energy newsletter informed recipients that they could contribute to Robinson's campaign by sending contributions to Access to Energys P.O. Box. If any contributions wei^e sent to Access to Energy, Althouse and/or the Institute would be acting as a conduit. Accordingly, it would be required to file conduit reports and, Robinson would have to identify those contributions as earmarked though Althouse or the Institute. Neither has done so. The Commission shoilld investigate whether Robinson indeed received any misreported conduit contributions.
Furthermore, federal law prohibits r^orporations from acting as conduits 232 NE 9Ui Avenue or iotcrmediaries. See2 U.S.C. § 441b; il C.F.R. § 110.6(b)(2). The RHtland OR 97232 Commission should investigate whetiier Althouse or the Institute violated this (503) 2248200 (phone] (503) 224-5336 (fax) prohibition by acting as a conduit ww«Kdpo.arg 5. Robinson Has Violated the Act's Reporting Requirements PRINTED IN-HOUSE The Commission should find that Robinson violated the Act's disclosure requirements. The Act requires that a committee disclose the name and employer of each individual who contributes more than an aggregate of $200 in an election cycle. 2 U.S.C. §§ 434(b)(3)(A), 431(13); 11 C.F.R § DBMOGRiOIC 104.3(a)(4)(i). A committee complies with this requirement ifit uses "best PARTY"/ efforts" to obtain, maintain and submit the required information. 2 U.S.C. § OREGON 432(i); 11 C.F.R. § 104.7(a). To demonstrate best efforts, a coinmittee must: 1. Include on all written solicitations a clear request for the contributor's full name, mailing addiess, occupation, and name of employer, and include an accurate statement of federal law regarding the collection and reporting of this information. m Ln 2. If the information is not provided, make one follow up stand-alone effort to obtain this information no later than 30 days after the receipt of tiie rsi eontributioiL Kl 3. If the committee receives contributor information after the contributions have been reported, either (a) file with the next regularly scheduled O report an amended memo Schedule A listing all the contributions for rsi which additional infonnation was received or (b) filingo n or before the next regularly scheduled reporting date amendments to the reports. 11 C.F.R. § 104.7(b). In all of his reports filed^this year, Robinson has repeatedly failed to report the employer and occupation information of his individual contributors. We estimate that as many as 30.1 percent of the individual contribution entries on his original reportslac k this information. See Attaohment L. Instead, he lists these entries as "none," "Best Efforts," or leaves them blank.^ On June 24,2010, the Coinmission sent Robinson an RFAI notifying him of his failure to inblude the required information in his Pre-Primaiy Report. The RFAI plainly outiined the steps Robinson needed to take to establish best efforts. Robinson filed an amended pre-primary report in which he claimed to establish best efforts procedures. But the contributor information on his amended ieport barely improved - 27.9 percent of the entries still lacked employer and ocoupation information, see Attachment L - and the representations he made on the amended reporthav e proved to be false. Despite being warned of his obligation to include a "best efforts" disclaimer in all fundraising solicitations, Robinson has failed to do this on multiple occasions: • The March and May 2010 editions of Access to Energy solicit campaign funds, but do not request aoy contributor information and do not contain 232 NE Sth Auenue an accurate statement of federal law. Attachments A, B. Ranland OR 97232 (503) 224-8200 Gphonel (503) 224-5335 llbx] ' Indeed, Complainant was able to identify die employer and occupation information of www.dpo.org several of Robinson's donors, chosen at random, simply by doing an individual search in die PRINTED IN-HOUSE FEC's database, or using other search engines. See Attachment M. * On September 5, Robinson sent a fundraising letter that did not contain an accurate statement of federal law. Attachment G. • Between July 8 and October 28,2010, the Robinson campaign sent 9 DBMOGIUaiC emails to the Robinson Cuniculum email list. While most of these PARTYqf emails contained requests for funds, none of them contained the required OREGON "best efforts" languagei.>SLttachment H. And on October 5,2010, the Commission sent Robinson yet another RFAI, noting the absence of contributor information on his July Quarterly Report. The RFAI also noted that the description of the best efforts procedure contained on Robinson's amended Pre-Primary Report was insufficient - his CO follow-up requests for contributor information failed to clearly ask for missing Ln information without soliciting a contribution, and were not made within 30 days of receiving the contribution. Robinson filed a responsei n which he clarified his procedure of sending letters. However, he did not file any amended reports rsi providing the missing contributon information. Because Robinson has repeatedly failed to reportcontributo r Q infomiation on his FEC reports, and has failed to establish best efforts, the rsi Commiission should findtha t he violated the Act's reporting requirements. •H 6. Robinson and Althouse/the Institute Have Violated The Act's Disclaimer Requirements. Finally, Robinson and Althouse have violated the Act's sponsorship identification requirements. The Act and Coinmission rules require that, inter alia, all public communications and mass emails sent by political committees, all public commimications tiiat expressly advocate the election or defeat of a clearly identified candidate, and all publications that solicit contributions, contain a disclaimer identifying who paid for the communication. 2 U.S.C. § 44 Id; 11 C.F.R. § 110.11(a). If the conununication was not paid for by a candidate, it must indicate whether the candidate authorized it Id. A "public communication" includes ail mass mailings, mailings of more than 500 substantially similar pieces sent within a 30-day period. Here, Robinson and Althouse/the Institute are responsible for multiple violations of this provision. Between July 8 and October 28,2010, the Robinson campaign sent 9 emails, to the Robinson Cuniculum email list. All but one of these emails was sent firomNoa h Robinson's campaign email account, [email protected]. As described earlier, Robinson has boasted that 60,000 students used Robinson's curriculum, so presumably more than 500 of these emails were sent out. None of the emails contained tiierequire d "paid for by" disclaimer. The March and May 2010 editions nf Access to Energy also lacked the 232 NE 9th Avenue required disclaimer. Botit expressly advocated Robinson's election and soliched Portland OR 97232 campaign funds for him. On mformation and belief, over 10,000 people (503) 2248200 Iphonei (503) 224-5335 [bxl subscribe to the newsletter, so over 500 copies were distributed. Thus, the www.dpaorg newsletters should have included paid for by and authorization disclaimers. PRINTED IN-HOUSE They did not. C. REQUESTED ACTION
For the reasons described above, we respectfully urge the Conunission to investigate whether Respondents has violated the Act by soliciting and DBBADCRAnC accepting excessive contributions, by accepting illegal in-kind contributions, by PARTYqf fidling to properly disclose the campaign's financial activity, and by failing to OREGON identify the sponsor of campaign communications. We fiather request that Re^ondents be required to disgorge all 'excessive and illegal contributions, be enjoined from further violations and be finedth e maximum amount permitted by law.

More usual is 9:00,1:00, and 6:00. Yesterday was a parade at 1:00, a speech at 3:00, and a speech at 6:00. The majority of our events - those for the general public in specific venues - are listed on the Intemet at ArtRobinsonForCongress.com. Typically, I am on my feet formally speaking or answering CO questions - to audiences and single or groups of individuals for about 8 hours each day - and traveling between the groups in the other hours. About once each week, I find myself sleeping fSI at home. Nl In most instances, Noah mails our campaign flier to the voters living near the event, telling O them we are coming. He arranges two or three events per day, seven days per week - rotating rsi among about'SO towns, large and small - in our 17,i006 square mile district. Audiences range fitim 400 to 600 peoi)le in the more populated areas to 25 to 80 in the smaller towns - very extraordinary, ordinary people! The energy and enthusiasm is almost unbelievable. When the group is small, we just sit together and discuss the issues as friends. When it is large, there is usually a lot of sponttmeotis cheering and applause punctiiating a formal speech - always an extemporaneous speech. I never use notes or prepared remarks. In this.dutrict. (just as all across our coimtry), the best of America's people have risen up and just said.^iio!" - '*ilie erosion of our freedommus t end now!" Everywhere we speak, the A audience is filled with people like us. I tell them that our countiy would be safe if we could just throw the Congress out and install 435 of them in plaee - they laugh and know that this is right. These are real people wilh conunon sen^ We have the nominations of die Republican Party, the Constitution Party, and the Independent Pairty. Fior this Independent nomination, we whipped our general election opponent DeFazio 56% to .39% iu a primary election. We are also endorsed by the Libertarian Party. We are all Americans, and we are all different In hundreds of interesting ways- but we are united in one cause - we are fighting to remain free to be different - to keqp our liberty. The taxation, regulation, and government-sponsored litigation that is strangling our country must be rolled back! The political slogan is, ''We must get the govemment off our backs, out of our pockets, and out of our lives ~ so that we can get our country going again!" We say this to the voters ui several different ways - but they all understand. Every productive American is suffering from fhe same oppression. Every American is now half slave and half free - and they know, just as Lincobi knew in a different context, that a country so constituted cannot endure. "«)! '.0 • I- The Founding Fathers gave us a govemment to protect our liberty; a Constitution to protect us fiDm that govemment; and term limits by election of the Congress evety two years - in case St- our elected officials failed to obey diat Constiftition. This November we exercise those term lunits. We tell each group of voters that they will determine the outcome of this election - before they vote: During this campaign, we wiH talk with about 15,000 voters - but there are more than 400,000 voters in tiiis district. It is they, who talking with their friends, relatives, and other fellow citizens must cany the message of freedom to these 400,000. We are doing our best to help - with speeches, campaign fliers, signs, radio and television (beginning next week), and other methods of communication. The. cainpaign signs would astonish you. One of the major district newspapers ran an article this week entitled "The Sign Gap" comparing our sign campaign with the meager one of our opponent, DeFazio. There are now about 9,000 Robinson for Congress campaign signs - from. 4 foot by'8 foot ficfsway signs to ordinary yard signs in place in this District - all put there by voliitite&rsy In addition, there iue now approximately 13,000 magnetic door signs arid' thousands of bumper stickers on cars and tmcks in the district. Noah's goal is 25,000 magnetic door signs. These 18 inch by 12 inch signs usually adorn only the cars of official campaign workers because they are expensive, but Noah and his brothers . frgured out how to make them themselves at very low cost - less than yard signs. As 1 write, there is another 4 tons of magnetic tnaterial recently arrived and sitting in our driveway. |vi Volunteers make the signs. At a typical event, .the audience carries away .about one yard sign and moire ihan one maghetic.door sign per person as they leave.'This is beginning to snowball, as peoplei^stdp each other in paridng lots wanting door signs for ttieir cars. Each oentrial campaign woricer carries a Utrge supply. It is now difficult to drive very far in this district without passing another car displaying our magnetic door signs or bumper stickers - with the drivers honking or giving each other a wave as they pass. The heart of the campaign is the Robinson children (young adults) and a growing group of volunteers who work togetherher e on the fami or driving on errands around the district - virtually every waking hour of every day. To these are added several full time volunteers who live and work in other places. Theur work is amplified by nearly 1,000 volunteers who live throu|)iout the district and work intermittently by putting up'sig^ (each i^equires permission from the property owner), making telephone calls, knockuig bn doors, arid writing letters to newspapers. All of this is coordinated by Noah, the campaign manager. He has increased the number of phone lines here from two to four - and seems to be talkmg on one or two of them himself almost frill time. i ft Our opponent is an entrenched 12-term socialist - he votes with Pelosi 86% of the time, casting a cUffereut vote occasionally to keep his seat. These people, of course, no longer call themselves ''aooialists." They call themselves "progressives." Our opponent DeFazio was cor founder of the congressional "Progressive Caucus." He has managed to fool his district at 8 election time (right now he sounds like a Reagan Republican), stay out of the national limelight, and vote a socialist agenda in Washington for 24 years. CO y.' rs i\ His strength, of course, is with those voters who prefer to live at the expense of others - with ^ • govemment seizing the earnings and property of productive people in order to finance this. Nl : There arc a depressingly large number of such people. ^ ^ }} Right now, our best information is that we arc ahead of our opponent in this election, but this is ^ j^' going to be a very close race. Political analysts no longer list his seat as safe, but still give him ST:' Thesis men are representative of Arnerica's great achievements in manned space travel - achievements made possible by American free enterprise and the exceptional men and women who arose in a fiiee society. When President Kennedy announced the space race. He initiated a phase of the Cold War that was far safer tiian the nucleaf race. The tens of thousands of productiye enterprises to produce nibst of the needed equipment and the thousands of free, productive minds necessary to uivent new equipment were already present in the United States. So, onr country succeeded. The Soviet socialist society, however, lacked these blessings, so it friiled. There is so much more that I would like to tell you about this wonderful experience - the thousandis of terrific people whom we are meeting and the days and weeks of working harder than ever before - and yet iiot even filling tired. Eventually, it will all be published in Access to Energy. Moreover, should we prevail, all of us - the people of Oregon District 4 and the readers oi Access to Enerjgy are going to have mate fun making trouble for tiie enemies of our nation in Washington than we tiave ever inmgined. Right now, however, the heavy responsibility of winning and the future at stake for our nation V . greatly temper our fun. A great many people have entrusted us with the responsibility of winning this for them, and we must succeed! In all that we are doing now, it is clear that we are winning. Our cause is just; our work ethic is %: superb; we have a great many peiople helping us; and we have overwhelming grass roots support. The great.tfareat to our effort, however, is the very large block of voters, who are generally - uninformed and pay. little attention to the issues. These people vote capricibusly without real knowledge. They are most affected by television and radio and are easily swayed by media activities. Our opponent has a very large amount of money to influence them. Like the voters, you will decide this election befisre the voting. Our campaign, while strongly supported by Oregon District 4 vot«^, also depends very greatly upon the readers of Access to Energy fbr financial supporc We need your contributions and the contributions of your friends and relatives, especially to fimd our television and radio efforts. Please help us - with your contiibutions - to close this resource gap and place out message on television aod radio sufficientiy often to influence these voters enough to win this election. Thank you for your help and consideration. Art.

Art Robinson: Yeah, the contribution limit is twenty-four hundred dollars fbr an indhridual. And there are no contribution limits in tbe state, but the federal government is twenty-four hundred dollars per Individual, so a man and his wife can each give twenty-four hundred dollars. For the whole campaign It was twenty-four hundred in the primary, then twentytfbur hundred in the Independent primary, then twenty-four hundred in the general election. Those two primaries have passed. So it's twenty-four hundred dollars Is the limit. And that, that seems like a lot of money and it is but the limit is harmful because there's no limit on the things the Congressman can do. You guys have gotten, everyone of you ^ has gotten flyers, letters, all kinds of stuff, you're getting phone cdlls; thaf s all paid fbr by the taxpayers. ^ He sent out almost nothing paid by his cainpaign so far. The taxpayer's been funding his side of the ^ electkin, but, uh. In acnjal campaign centributlons it's twenty-four hundred dollars per individual. rM tfl Q: No otherrestrictions, uh? ^ Art Robinson: What other restrictions would you... ^ Q: Like any entitles that you restrict? ^ Art Robinson: You can't give if you're a corporation, I said per individual, a corporation can't contribute. 2J They've made a lot of campaign finance laws, most of which paid fbr the accountants. It's twenty-four hundred per individual; a corporation can't contribute. And if a Political /Action Gommittee supports you, they can't talk to you.
