With neither State nor Federal
matching funds, Juan Xuna has spent $30,000 from his family bank
account to run the campaign. This does not count the estimated $70,000
in "lost earnings". The candidate resigned in January of
2002 to his previous employ as Vice President of International Sales (for
a phone-parts manufacturer) to dedicate full-time to the campaign.
If you care for the issues ...
It's your call! I did all I could! |
| Amounts equal
to or greater than $50 can not be anonymous. In that
case name, and address
of donor must be registered. For contributions larger than $200 the identity of
the contributor has to be reported to the FEC (Federal
Elections Commission) |
| Federal law limits the maximum allowed contribution by an individual to
$1,000 per cycle. If the campaign where to have two cycles
(run-off and general election) then the maximum per
individual would be $2,000. |
| Only contributions
from US citizens and US permanent residents
(green cards holders) are allowed. That restriction does not apply to campaign
volunteering,
though. You could be one of my volunteers even from overseas (assuming
we could find anything for you to do for us from afar). |
| Corporations can not donate money directly
to a political
campaign, but they can contribute up to $5,000 per cycle through the
PAC
(Political Action Committee) that they may espouse. If you feel that the health of your
corporation would be enhanced, if my views were to be passed into laws,
then please instruct your PAC Treasurer or Chairperson to send us your
check. |

Under Federal law it is illegal to use campaign funds for personal
expenses not related to the campaign. I would say that this law
is unfair, and it has been passed with the purpose of avoiding rampant fraud,
which I am sure was commonplace sometime ago (in the interesting -if not always
smooth- political past of our country). Well, as things are today, while campaigning for public service, the
political candidate must be able to come up with money from other sources to
support him and his family. That is easier said than done! Especially when you are a hopeful challenger, who tries to dethrone an incumbent
veteran Congressman. You will have to dedicate 100% of your time to the campaign (18
hours a day, 7 days a week). That said, it means that unless you are
a wealthy individual, or unless your have a healthy consultancy or professional practice, you
can not run for Congress.
