Republican Majority Campaign PAC to Challenge Crist Donations

Online, April 30, 2010 (Newswire.com) - (ST. PETERSBURG, FL.- April 29, 2010)- After officially switching from a Republican to an independent candidate for the United States Senate from Florida, Charlie Crist has left many who donated money to his Republican campaign feeling betrayed. And the Republican Majority Campaign Political Action Committee (RMCPAC) vows to aide in the recovery of these donations intended for a Republican candidate.
Sources have indicated that Charlie Crist is not only running as an independent candidate for Senate, but he has extensively dipped into the $9 million in money raised while he was a Republican candidate to pay for television commercials through the November election. The reason behind this advance payment is easy enough to understand, as, now, if his donors ask for their money back, he can say that he has none to give back.
Daniel Diaz, the State Director of the RMCPAC explains it as this, "While Crist proclaims himself as a Republican, his voting record and affiliations have shown him to be a Democrat in nature. Charlie Crist has broken his word and lied to the Republican Party, and to his donors, by promising that he would not abandon the GOP, as quoted in various interviews and his pledges to the American people."
Beginning today, the Republican Majority Campaign will begin contacting Crist's over 6,000 donors and urging them to demand a refund of the contributions that they gave to Crist with the understanding that he was running for the Republican nomination to the United States Senate. It would be unethical for Governor Crist to use those contributions to further his campaign without first obtaining approval from each and every contributor.
Diaz continues. "The Republican Majority Campaign will make sure that Charlie Crist understands this betrayal of trust with those that supported him as a Republican, and we will take all possible steps to see that he returns the contributions of all those that request them."
