I just checked it. Worked fine.

Also:

Al Seeno III has ties with the local NorCal Hell’s Angels. Seeno III is Seeno Jr’s son.

George Miller, D-Martinez also got a ton of money from Seeno contributors.

They donated to all our favorites:

“With the housing bubble’s loud burst in many of its core markets, Seeno homebuilding appears to have slowed dramatically. Its Web site lists just three “upcoming communities” — two in Oakley and one in Vacaville. At the same time, casino revenue across Nevada fell nearly 20 percent from 2006 to 2009.

Even so, the business empire has afforded the Seenos hefty political influence: Campaign finance records compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics indicate the family has made at least $516,000 in contributions to federal candidates since 1989.

That includes sizable contributions to national and state Democratic and Republican party organs, as well as to California and Nevada politicians including U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.; U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., who heads the environment and public works committee; House Education and Labor Committee Chairman George Miller, D-Martinez; former Rep. Ellen Tauscher, D-Alamo; David Harmer, a Republican who sought to succeed Tauscher in last year’s special election; and former House Resources Committee Chairman Richard Pombo, R-Tracy.

In California, the secretary of state’s campaign finance database shows the company and members of the Seeno family have given at least $435,000 to various state candidates and causes over the past decade.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s campaigns and committees received at least $65,585 from the family and its businesses, while likely Democratic gubernatorial candidate and state Attorney General Jerry Brown’s campaigns received at least $45,500.”
