HARTFORD, Conn.

Connecticut elections officials are investigating whether Weston businessman Peter Schiff violated state laws by using out-of-state workers to collect signatures to petition his way onto the Republican primary ballot for U.S. Senate.

In a complain obtained Monday by The Associated Press, James Bancroft, who said he was a founding member of the Hartford tea party group, claimed he was approached by a Schiff supporter outside a store in Newington last week and asked to sign a petition. Bancroft said he struck up a conversation with the worker, who said he was from Montana. Bancroft filed the complaint with the State Elections Enforcement Commission on Friday.

You need to look upVinny Forras

Vinny is a millionair, too, millionair business owner

CONSERVATIVE

NOT a RINO like Schiff is

Please read through the posts here, I posted Schiff’s own words on this, from his own mouth

he is NO DIFFERENT than Barney Frank on all moral issues.

"I am the guy who filed the complaint last week after out of state workers who told me they were working for Schiff were collecting signatures."

Congratulations on being likely the biggest idiot I have ever run into on FR -- and that's going some! Do you have any idea the damage you have just done? And you are "proud" enough of it to actually post it? Then you get whatever Liberal gets shoved down your throat!

If I am out of line because I am absolutely furious, then you can have my apologies in advance -- but I don't think that I am!

Fair enough. I'm trying my best not to give in to gloom and doom and despair, trying to convince a family member that all is not necessarily lost on any front. Maybe get too many doses of pessimism.

Gold is hot. Stocks are not. Here where I live. Seems to be a non-partisan issue at this point. Can't really share more than that right now.

If the homosexuals only wanted to live and let live, I would agree. But the homosexuals are pushing to get their perversion taught to elementary school children.

Wonderful collection of Schiff material you have there RB...Allow me to add another one to the pile, although I think you may not enjoy it as much...

PETER SCHIFF WAS RIGHT: A collection of clips from ‘06-’07 where he accurately predicted the recession and where various ‘experts’, many of them Republican, just laughed at him. But for a guy who thinks people will force him to be gay, I suppose none of this matters to you.

Schiff ‘10

And they are also pushing to use the Court to further damage the Constitution through judicial activism. Ron Paul and his “perversion of liberty” movement now seem to be supporting this agenda as well.

I am so proud that I exposed a gay marriage defending candidate who claims to be a RINO

I am so proud that I exposed a candidate who openly says he is for abortion for years to only hide that in his campaign

I am so proud to have exposed a man who says that the Iraq war is a quagmire in 2009...years after we held free elections there and are leaving in victory!

I am very proud to expose a man who associates with Adam kokesh, the anti-war moron at different fundraisers across the country

I am quite proud of what I did.

In fact, I am most proud, that after I called the Elections enforcement office, informed them of what I saw and heard, that they investigated the law and called me back and asked me to come down and swear out an affadavit

I am also proud that I was interviewed by the AP this afternoon on this and the women told me that she was told by a friend of hers in the McMahon campaign that workers from Montana were canvassing in front of McMahon’s office for signatures, and that the Elections commission knows that, too! :)

Peter Schiff predicted that the Iraq war would be a quagmire

SCHIFF himself admits he believes the Iraq War is a QUAGMIRE in 2009!!
http://www.freespeechmonster.com/?p=103

Schiff has said this many times
http://peterschiffsays.com/defense.htm

Aug 7, 2009, Iraq is a quagmire
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9t741ewbGA

Schiff blamed Iraq on bankers? Not on Saddam?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zo81QDSuixk

So much for Schiff’s predictions!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH

You're 3,000 miles from the action! I've listened to Schiff speak in person on more than one occasion and heard him on local radio several more times. He only talks about the economy! That alone should set off bells and whistles inside one's head as it has me. He went as far once on local radio to state the down turn in the U.S. economy will force illegals to leave. Schiff is living on another with that remark given the Mexican economy is far worse and people are being murdered left and right in Mexico. No one in their right mind would return to Mexico simply because the U.S. economy is on the slide! Then add in his pro abort and pro marijuana stances. These positions should be a cause for alarm for anyone.

Why Montana? There is something going on. These people are trying to take over the Tea party and Republican party. Since most of us are so disgusted with the Democrats and Obama, they are seizing the opportunity to use the new wave to take over.
The problem is most people have lives to live and are not paying attention to this takeover. They see someone new running and assume they have similar views, when they have independent or Republican by their name.

Adam Kokesh is also a friend of the man who just won the Republican primary for US House District 4 in North Carolina, BJ Lawson.

Good luck,

Gosh, maybe if you break out a magnifying glass and tweezers you can dig up some more miniscule MINUTIA laying around.

Why not set up a video sting and perhaps try to catch him ripping tags off matresses - something like that. If he or anyone who volunteers for him is a matress tag ripper, you can put it in Breaking News and become a real attention whore.

Even if the mods remove it, you'll at least be able to pat yourself on the back and think you're k00l.

they told me they worked for National Ballot Association, an organization that sends people mnationwide for things like this.

they get paid $2.25 per signature and witnesses get $100 per day

ALL IN CASH, and they told me to NOT report it to unemployment, which is a crime in Connecticut, and if I did and got caught, I would lose all my benefits.

Do you have any video clips of him discussing any other issues half as much as he does the economy? How about a tenth? The answer is no because it's the only issue he wants to discuss voluntarily. I've seen him expound for 15 minutes on one question about the economy but not discuss any other issues with nearly the same depth.

sorry.

people who defend homosexuality are the sick ones

people who vote for people who defend homosexuality are the sick ones

I seem to be one of the clear thinkers

also, I defended the existing law

you seem to be for violating it

you need your meds.
