HAMMONTON FIRST FILES CAMPAIGN REPORTS!
Permalink   
 


The Hammonton First Political party has finally complied with election laws and filed the required reports with the State. More information will be posted here shortly, but the total spending reported by Hammonton First for this past campaign was $46,816.81.
Below are links for the reports:

29 Day Pre-Election report

11 Day Pre-Election report

20 Day Post-Election report

Jan 15 report


As you look through the reports, it is interesting to note that 65% of all the contributions received by Hammonton First came from one family.

It appears that Hammonton First finally decided to file these reports because the State has begun an investigation into the Hammonton First campaign which could include fines and criminal charges. We have obtained a response sent from the state to an individual who complained to the state about the non-filing.
Click here to see that response. We apologize for the poor copy, but it can still be read.

Remember thats $46,816.81 on paper. Theres a reason it took them all this time to do the math. Like my my Nonna Carmela would say "You only have to tell the truth once." The truth should have been answered many months ago. Once you tell the truth, it is generally over; whereas if you lie, the whole thing is just beginning. Youll have to tell many more lies to cover up the first lie you told.

When you look at these reports, the family that the Admin is referring to is the Donio family. That one family was responsible for over $30,000 of the campaign funds. This is public information anyone can get. It's a shame that the voters were denied this information prior to the election, things might have turned out differently.
It now seems there are 2 Republican parties here in Hammonton. There is the Regular Republican Party and the Donio Republican Party (aka Hammonton First).

According to the news, Democrats Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have spent a combined $219 million in their primary campaigns as of the end of January. They also have $54 million in the bank for spending.

Neither candidate has filed their February numbers.

Do the Hammonton Democrats think this is too much money to spend? Or is $273 million and counting sound about right?

OK smart ass, lets do the math. 
$30,000 from one family for a total of 5494 votes.  Thats $5.46 for each Hammonton First vote.  Considering that many people blindly voted for all three seats, lets say around $15.00 for each moron voting for Hammonton First.  That is just crazy for a small local election.  It really makes you wonder why one family has so much money invested in Hammonton.  It would almost make one believe that the family in mention has invested $30,000 on some cheap politians.  And with any investment, you would expect a return on that investment.  I wonder what that family expects in return??  Any guesses?  Anyone?

Lets say that Obama and Clinton spend all $273 million combined.  At $5.46, that only purchases 50,000,000 votes.  CNN reports that 26,000,000 million already voted, not to mention that does not include 22 states (caucus states and states that did not yet vote).  So its fair to assume a sum of 50 million votes would be achieved if all states voted in a primary.  If one single family were spend $5.46 for each vote at, lets say 50 million votes, that one single family would have to spend that sum $273 million.  Since Obama and Clinton are running two seperate, independent campaigns and they both collected money from supporters all over the country, and not from one family, your point is null and void.

Why don't you try thinking before you type?

wow,
One family paid $30,000 or $15 a vote?

Combined, HF paid $8.52 a vote, or $25.56 for every person voting for the ticket.  If Clinton and Obama did that, they would each spent almost $1.3 BILLION each!!!!!!!!!

The two front running Democrats have spent $273 million and they haven't even finished the primaries! With only 26 million people voting thus far, that means they've spent over $10 per voter.... and they are still spending more! How much more gets spent in the general election! And what big businesses must control them having given them millions! I guess the Democrats must think this is okay.

That certainly is a lot more money than Ney York's Democrat Governor Elliott Spitzer spent on call girls.

I do agree that all parties spend too much on campaigns.  However, You are skewing the numbers.  26 milion voters only includes 27 states and the District of Columbia.  If you add the caucus states and the rest of the states that didn't vote yet, your number would be very close to 50 milion voters. 

Even then, you are completely missing the point.  This one family in Hammonton spent more money per voter than both the Obama and Clinton campaigns combined!!  You figure out how much money they spent the last three years on Hammonton First and it is really scarry.  One family controls Hammonton.  Why?  Does anyone want to take a stab at it?  Are they just egotistical maniacs, or do they have something to gain or profit from controling the politians that control the town.  Furthermore, Hammonton First eliminates oversight committees and gets rid of anyone that doesn't drink their Kool Aid to leave no opposing views, then they claim there is an "Open Government" to fool the voters in a re-election campaign.  It is really a disgrace to democracy.

The Democrats are going to completely wipe out the record for the most money ever spent in an electtion anywhere on earth. The primaries aren't even done and there will certainly be a lot more spending as the race goes down to the wire. It will easily exceed $300 million.

In addition, regular election is even more expensive than the primaries. The Democrats will finish the presidential campaign at over $600 million! They received 59 million votes for president in 2004. That means they are paying over $10 a vote for every vote they get in America!

How many special interests have kicked into to this unbelievable amount? How many people are the Democrats in debt to? I can easily see why they attack any third party. They don't want to give up control of all their patronage jobs and government pork!

Let me see if I understand you correctly, are you saying that because on the national level the Democrats are spending unprecedented amounts of money on this years election, it is OK for HF to spend unprecedented amounts of money on the local level? That sounds like a statement I would hear from my young daughters, "She did it, why can't I do it?"
In the three years they have run, Hammonton First has spent over $200,000 in their campaigns and 1 family has contributed $75,000 of that money.

Let's analyze your last paragraph:
How many special interests have kicked into to this unbelievable amount? I guess we have that answer

How many people are the Democrats in debt to? We can see that answer for Hammonton First too.

I can easily see why they attack any third party. Hammonton First is on the attack, stones and glass houses!!

They don't want to give up control of all their patronage jobs and government pork! Decide this one for yourself.

Ummm!  Wasn't McGreevey a Democrat?  At least Spitzer didn't make the woman in charge of NJ Homeland security.   Spitzer's mistake was putting her on his budget reports.

Wow, One Family has contributed $75,000 out of the $200,000 that Hammonton has spent on elections the last 3 years.  I wonder why none of them have put their name in as a candidate or is it really just about controlling those who had the liked the idea of a 3rd party.

I wonder how many votes the Donios would get if they actually ran themselves? I guess they should be glad that the DiDonatos are so willing to do the Imperial Family's bidding.

Elliot Spitzer resigned as Governor of New York. He was a true Democrat. CNN reports he even charged for hookers on his credit card. Talk about going into debt... amazing.

Oh no. You have fooled me. Now, I, as a reader of your comment, equate Eliot Spitzer with the Hammonton Democrats. I think I may vote Donio First now.

Come on. Just because Donio First supporters can't think for themselves, doesn't mean that is how the rest of us are that dumb.

I go back to my original statement:

I wonder how many votes the Donios would get if they actually ran themselves? I guess they should be glad that the DiDonatos are so willing to do the Imperial Family's bidding.

$46,000+ WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!  I can't imagine what they'll spend on this election since it's a presidential election which would draw in more regular Republicans and Democrats.  Seeing how Hammonton First wants TOTAL control I'd say $100,000 would be an easy figure.  Of course, we won't find out how much they spent probably until March 2009.  I'm surprised the Gazette hadn't published that since they publish how much Democrats and Republicans spend on their campaigns and comment on who they get their money from.
