Curious Finance Report For Dan Gelber? This is ALL The Contributions DG Made For The Past 13 Years?

[DaLittle Kitty]

Given that ANYTIME someone pays to even attend a Democratic Party event of ANY significance the "contribution" is recorded as a CONTRIBUTION to the Florida Democratic Party reportable to the Florida Department of State as such.

So you mean to tell me that Mr. Gelber has NEVER____ IN THE PAST 13 YEARS attended the ANNUAL Florida Democratic Party Convention? The cost of dinners and lunches and virtually everything except hotel rooms is cataloged as a CONTRIBUTION to the FDP and Mr. Gelber is ONLY reported on the Dept. of State as having "contributed" $1,000 to the Florida Democratic Party in 2004 and a measly $200 to Alex Sink in 2006? WOW! Some Democrat!

Former Big Time Prosecutor and Holland and Knight Attorney and that's ALL he can afford?

Me thinks that there has been a problem with reporting Hmmm? Perhaps some accounting problems at FDP HQ?

An article in a Florida Press Blog circa late 2006 early 2007 (no longer able to locate on-line) detailed a contribution by one Mr. Dan Gelber to the Florida Republican Party of a cool $5,000 BUCKS... Lots of chuckling by the contributors re: buying off potential opposition?

This is the best we democrats can muster hmmm?

He is either being given a BIG free ride by the FDP crew or he has chosen to stay home the past 13 years as well as being CHEAP? Here's the tally w/ link! :)

[DaLittle Kitty]

Also I can give you the link to the dos search page and you can try it... https://doe.dos.state.fl.us/campaign-finance/contrib.asp#both


See what happens... It still does not make any sense as described in my original post... :) :think:

4. As a member of the Legislature, he was likely comped for most FDP events

Donors like to hob-nob with elected officials, so the Party does not charge legislators to attend these events.

[DaLittle Kitty]

5. He was not a legislator until 2000... So, Dan Gelber IS Just "CHEAP" and NOT Supportive of Dems!

This gentlemen did not even contribute to ANY Gubernatorial candidate in the past 13 years. Kind of friendly to Repubs too!

[Freddie Stubbs]

6. He didn't become the leader of the Dems in the House without raising a lot of money for candidates

[DaLittle Kitty]

7. The Point IS That His Contributions Are IF Accurate, Largely Insignificant And If Not, What Is Being

HIDDEN??? 5K to The RPOF? Etc. Hmmm Anddddd.... He's just another hack for the "establishment" and our "friends" in the middle east! :)

8. Actually this is INCORRECT

Dan Gelber has had a campaign account the entire time you note in your, he has used his campaign account to donate thousands to Democrats in the state. He also lead the Democratic caucus when they won more seats than any other time in decades and helped raise hundreds of thousands for that effort.

To start, here is just SOME of the 2008 and 2006 contributions to Florida Democrats, and this took me about 10 minutes:

Gelber, Dan (DEM)(STS) 01/01/2009 1,000.00 MIAMI DADE DEC
Gelber, Dan (DEM)(STS) 01/01/2009 8,000.00 MIAMI DADE DEC
Gelber, Dan (DEM)(STS) 01/01/2009 9,000.00 FLORIDA DEMOCRATIC PARTY
Gelber, Dan (DEM)(STS) 12/02/2008 1,000.00 MIAMI DADE DEC
Gelber, Dan (DEM)(STS) 11/30/2008 4,000.00 MIAMI DADE DEC
Gelber, Dan (DEM)(STS) 06/04/2008 2,750.00 FLORIDA DEMOCRATIC PARTY
Gelber, Dan (DEM)(STR) 10/05/2006 10,000.00 FLORIDA DEMOCRATIC PARTY

He also gave money at the federal level, personally.

9. He Also Gave $5,000 to The Republican Party of Florida...And Your Mother IS StillCashing Checks From

Al Cardenas! More seats ? There IS NOOOO Florida Democratic Party in Florida! Dream on! What passes for the FDP is little more than a slush fund for a few hacks who are arm and arm w/ the Republicans. :)

10. this seems to me to be a smear campaign

http://newsmeat.com/fec/bystate_detail.php?city=Miami+Beach&st=FL&last=Gelber&first=Dan

How about the Dan Gelber who gave money to John Kerry?

I really doubt that Gelber gave $$$ to the GOP....especially WHILE IN OFFICE.

[DaLittle Kitty]

11. Nope... This Was Widely Reported About One Year Ago! There Ain't Nuth'in Progressive About...

FDP or elected Dems here in Florida! ;(

12. Sorry but I'd take him in a heartbeat over DWS or Meek.
