Larry Ward, the founder of the Constitutional Rights PAC, defended the move to derail the ascension of Mr. Ryan, calling it a worthy goal.
Politics is supposed to be bloody. It is supposed to be a battle of will,” Mr. Ward said. “And the one who can get the American people siding with them is the one who wins.”
But Mr. Ward also has a financial stake in the fight. He runs Political Media, a Washington-based firm that will charge Constitutional Rights PAC a fee for sending out the blast email with the dual purpose of asking conservatives to help dump Mr. Ryan and to donate to Mr. Ward’s political action committee.
“Help us fund the fight by making an emergency donation of $30, $50 or even $100 today,” the email said, even though records show that Mr. Ward’s PAC spends every dollar it gets on consultants, mailings and fund-raising — making no donations to candidates. Mr. Ward defended his use of his own firm, saying he gives his PAC a discount on his company’s regular service charges.
Mr. Ward has plenty of competitors. Groups including the Tea Party Leadership Fund, the Madison Project and the Tea Party Patriots have in the past year turned the attack on the Republican leadership into a fund-raising tool, records show.

These groups even try to use the good name of people like Ted Cruz or Trey Goudy to enrich themselves. Only give money to the candidates themselves. These outside groups are 99% scammers.
I should add that obviously I support getting rid of Paul RINO but giving money to these liars doesn’t help with that.
And they are tied in with the GOPee to get Bush in the White House...everyone of them....
Cruz will be good to take over McConnell’s job and get the Senate back to normal, we did vote for a majority Republican Senate didn’t we?
Trump is the man for the Oval Office, he is the one that can make the deals for a better America, and I think that is what we want, isn’t it?
Club for Growth - GOPe mouthpiece
Sounds like a good plan to me.
These are fake conservative groups that are secretly aligned with the GOPe. Their goal is to make real conservatives ineffective by siphoning away our money.
Yep. They showed their stripes this year.
We all need to beware the other ones too. Give only to the candidates. The groups pretending to help them are just trying to get rich.
Club for Growth spends nearly 90% of donations on candidates, it doesn’t belong on that list.
They’re better in that regard but they support the open borders trash and that helps their donors.
You’re right at least they aren’t stealing from contributors though.
While I only give to a specific candidate, the heads up is MOST appreciated.
We really need to spread the word.
These jerks have been stealing conservative money for decades. They need to be thrown out.
Please read my response before you make unfounded accusations and try to hurt my company and the work I do for a living.

I have been dedicating my life to this for 12 years. Not a fly by night.

Telling people you will stop Paul RINO and then admitting you don’t spend your money inside congress campaigns says everything about your methods and your honesty.
Either you don’t know what you’re doing or you very much do and you’re in it for the money.
Amen my friend. Amen. I emailed the link to my Conservative friends worldwide. Still have a lot of ‘em back Virginia way.
Thanks for spreading the word.
Every FReeper needs to see this article. The outside groups are taking our money and stuffing it into their pockets.
They are creations of the GOPE with the intent of starving good candidates by running false flag “conservative” groups that just take the money out of circulation.
No different than all the splitter candidates like Huckabee or Santorum who are in there to divide the conservative vote!
How is requesting a donation stealing money? Do you know how my org spends its money? Why would you assume that the liberal rag ny times has correctly assessed my character?
