TONER AND COMMISSIONERS DAVID M.

The Commission voted unanimously to adopt the Office of General Counsel (“OGC”) recommendation to (1) find no reason to believe Respondents violated FECA and (2) close the file.1 Although we agree with the OGC recommendation, we write separately to clarify why the press exemption applies in this matter, because the standard is easier to meet than the analysis2 accompanying the recommendation might suggest and does not require any content analysis of the radio shows.

    For immediate release October 20, 2014 KTTH Hosts Sold Out Freedom Series on Gun Rights Panel Discussion Focuses on the Second Amendment with Ben Shapiro, Michael Medved, KIRO Radio’s Dave Ross, and President of “Washington CeaseFire!” Ralph Fascitelli SEATTLE, WA – KTTH AM 770 will host the third Freedom Series on the polarizing battle over gun rights. This panel will be hosted at the Pigott Auditorium at Seattle University on October 22, 2014, from 7:30 to 9 p.m. The event is sold out. The panel is moderated by KTTH Host David Boze, and features KTTH afternoon host and New York Times bestselling author Ben Shapiro; syndicated host and New York Times bestselling author Michael Medved; KIRO Radio’s Dave Ross; and Washington Ceasefire President and activist Ralph Fascitelli. “There is a conflict between honoring the Second Amendment rights of Washingtonians and tackling the issue of needless gun violence. Without examining both sides of the issue, I’m not sure we can find any solutions,” said KTTH AM 770 Program Director, Jason Antebi. “It’s my hope that this panel can provide us all with meaningful information that and find common ground among folks on either side of this issue.” The “AM 770 KTTH Freedom Series: Guns in America” is the third in a series of debates designed to encourage civil but vigorous discussion of important issues facing Western Washington. Previously, the Freedom Series tackled the $15 minimum wage, and the topic of religious freedom. Moderator: David Boze hosts The David Boze Morning Show weekdays from 6 to 9 a.m.

DAVE ROSS TO THE COMPLAINT BY CHRIS VANCE I. INTRODUCTION On behalf of the Friends of Dave Ross, Philip Lloyd as Treasurer, and Mr. Dave Ross (collectively, the “respondents”), we respectfully submit the following joint response to the complaint filed in the above captioned matter under review (“MUR”). On October 5,2004, Chris Vance, Chairman of the Washington State Republican Party, filed the complaint that initiated this MUR. In his complaint, Mr. Vance alleges, inter alia, that the respondents violated federal campaign finance law by using The Dave Ross Show to benefit Mr. Ross’s congressional campaign. Mr. Vance also alleges that the respondents participated in “illegal corporate coordination” with 710 KIRO, Mr. Ross’s employer.’ See Complaint at 1. I 1 Mr. Vance also alleges that KIRO-AM denied Mr. Ross’s opponent “equal time” under Federal Communications Commission rules. See Complaint at 4. Because potential violations of FCC regulations are not within the jurisdiction of the FEC, we do not address these allegations here. Accordingly, any such “equal time” argument should be dismissed for lack of FEC jurisdiction. .. .. .. __ .. In response, the respondents respectfully submit that 710 KIRO and CBS Radio News were press entities engaging in legitimate press activity, and, thus, are entitled to the “press exemption” described at 2 U.S.C.

  • Petition to Maine's Congressional Delegation
    Haskell Rock Pitch, East Branch of the Penobscot Photo by Mark Picard We Support a New National Park and National Recreation Area To Maine’s Congressional Delegation: We urge you to support the creation of a 150,000‐acre National Park and National Recreation Area east of Baxter State Park, as proposed by Elliotsville Plantation, Inc. The proposed National Park and National Recreation Area would have significant conservation and recreation benefits, and would also stimulate much‐needed economic development in the Katahdin region. That is why the proposal has earned the endorsement of the Katahdin Area Chamber of Commerce and Katahdin Rotary Club, among others. We urge you to support legislation in Washington, D.C. to establish the new National Park and National Recreation Area.
