Aanestad Earns FreedomWorks PAC Endorsement

By Staff on May 17, 2012

PENN VALLEY, CA – Republican U.S. congressional candidate Sam Aanestad today received support from FreedomWorks, one of the largest Republican organizing groups in the country.

FreedomWorks PAC, led by Dick Armey, announced this morning that they have officially endorsed Aanestad’s candidacy for California’s 1st Congressional District, a seat opened by the retirement of longtime Rep. Wally Herger.

The endorsement from FreedomWorks PAC, a Washington, D.C., based political action committee led by Dick Armey, is a powerful statement from a national organization that has endorsed individuals like Marco Rubio, Pat Toomey, and Rand Paul.

“I’m proud to have earned FreedomWorks’ endorsement,” said Aanestad. “It’s just another affirmation that my record as a conservative committed to protecting the Constitution has widespread support, from Washington DC to the heart of the North State.”

Aanestad was first elected to the California State Assembly in 1998 to represent the 3rd District. He spent 12 years in the California State Legislature and never voted for a tax increase or an unbalanced budget, something no other candidate for California’s 1st Congressional District can claim.

"Then, Tuesday afternoon, LaMalfa's campaign released a laughable statement denying that he or his campaign 'had any knowledge or involvement in the construction or posting of the website in question.' Right, it was an independent expenditure — by LaMalfa's chief of staff."

LaMalfa Campaign Team Scrambles to Synchronize “Story” After Being Caught Conspiring to Break Federal Law; Aanestad Files FEC Complaint 

(Penn Valley, CA) – Yesterday, official Internet records revealed that Doug LaMalfa’s congressional campaign created an anti-Aanestad attack website and an attack online advertising campaign, and willfully violated federal law by putting an opponent’s campaign disclaimer on those attack communications, thereby trying to make it appear that they came from another source. 

Now, the LaMalfa campaign is caught with a substantial number of contradictory stories as the scramble to “synchronize” their explanation of the illegal activity complicates their case.

Internet Registry Records Confirm LaMalfa Campaign Manager Registers “Hit Website” Against Aanestad,  Violates Numerous Federal Laws While Claiming Site Created by Another Candidate in CD1 Race

(Redding, CA) – In a clear violation of federal campaign finance disclosure laws, and verified yesterday by release of official Internet registry documents, Doug LaMalfa’s congressional campaign registered and built a negative website about Sam Aanestad, then posted the site on the Internet while disclaiming its contents to link with another candidate in the race, Republican Michael Dacquisto.  The website, www.Sam4Congress.com, violates a number of campaign finance laws, including several illegal independent expenditures and conspiracy to improperly disclaim a federal campaign website.
