The ‘Occupy Democrats Election Fund’ PAC’, run by Omar Rivero, raised $797K from 2021-2022.

They contributed $0 to federal candidates.

And they spent $577k on ‘Fundraising Consultants’.

Would @OccupyDemocrats & @OmarRiverosays care to explain? ImageImageImage
This information was from the OpenSecrets website. I also went through their FEC filings. I would urge anyone interested to do the same, with a focus on their disbursements. I also did a search for contributions to candidates, and this came up. Image
Here's a screen shot from their FEC filing of some of their disbursements to fundraising consultants. Image
I guess Omar and Occupy Democrats don’t like people looking at their FEC filings and asking questions. I wonder why that is? 🤔 ImageImage
Why did you block me again, Omar? Do you not want to talk about the $250,000 of donation money your PAC received that you gave to Blue Deal LLC, the company owned by you and your brother? Image

1/ If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to navigate a PAC’s FEC filing to see how they’re spending the donation money they receive, here’s a quick and easy step-by-step tutorial.

We’ll be using @ReallyAmerican1’s PAC as an example.
2/ First, go to the FEC.gov website.

(I would recommend doing all of this on a computer, as it’s easier to navigate the site and view all of the info)
3/ Enter Really American PAC in the search bar in the top right corner of the page, and their name should appear. Click on their name.

If it doesn’t appear, click search, and you’ll be taken to the page shown in the second screenshot. Click on their name there. ImageImage

UNBELIEVABLE: @ReallyAmerican1’s PAC spent only $647.22 on ads opposing Lauren Boebert in ‘22 & that was back in May/June - nowhere near the midterms.

Meanwhile, the PAC’s treasurer, @JustinAHorwitz, & BrooklynDad @mmpadellan paid themselves over $500K for consulting in ‘21-‘22 Image
2/ The fact that @ReallyAmerican1’s PAC spent so little on ads opposing Lauren Boebert in 2022, while paying themselves huge consulting fees, is appalling IMO. Unfortunately, when you look at the rest of their spending, as you’ll see below, a pattern emerges.
3/ Before we take a look at exactly how and when @ReallyAmerican1’s PAC spent the donation money they received in 2021-2022, it’s important to point out that they are a Super PAC. Image

Is JoJoFromJerz a grifter?

Let’s take a look.

Over a year ago, Jo claimed she needed money to fix her fridge, then it was to save her house, and now it’s also to fix & repair her house, including “a new roof, a new furnace, and a new chimney liner”.

What’s next? A new car?
JoJo keeps asking for money, yet there’s a glaring lack of transparency about how much she’s actually raised. It seems that once big money started rolling in, she made it harder to tell how much she’s raked in, which appears to easily be in the tens of thousands, if not way more.
In July 2022, her Kofi page said she’d already received 11,559 donations. The donations have continued to pour in over the last 7 months, but JoJo has now hidden the number of donors. This is a huge red flag, and one of many transparency issues.

Why is there a $40,000 disbursement from the Occupy Democrats Election Fund PAC to Mitch McConnell for ‘fundraising/digital’ in their FEC filing on 10/30/20? If this is a ‘clerical error’, it’s the mother of all clerical errors.
It’s right there in their FEC filing, and I would recommend everyone go take a look for themselves. If they have an explanation for this, I’d love to hear it.
If they have an explanation for this, I’d love to hear it, but it’s sitting right there in their FEC filing for all to see.
