John McCain: Arizona’s Sellout Senator is the Godfather of Dark Money
McCain Wrote the Rules for Campaign Finance. Now He's Profiting From It
Kelli Ward Wants to Unseat and Stop This Political Monster
U.S. Sen. John McCain wrote the rules on dark money when he sponsored campaign finance reform, also known as the McCain-Feingold Act. Now he’s using millions of dollars in dark money in a bid to hold on to his tightly contested Arizona seat. Will you help Kelli Ward defeat John McCain?

An investigation into the various PACs supporting McCain brought to light some stunning conclusions.
First, the vast majority of McCain campaign donations are not from the Arizonans he represents but from people and corporations outside of Arizona with a vested interest in McCain’s continued support and votes for their interests.
Second, several of the PACs supporting McCain are blatantly violating the very federal election laws McCain wrote.
In the 2010 Citizens United Supreme Court decision, even more dark money was allowed to flow into the election process. Since the decision, McCain has opposed efforts to restrict its influence and cut the stream of questionable donations.

Now McCain is taking advantage of that dark money to fuel his re-election bid in Arizona under the guise of a grassroots movement.
There’s nothing grassroots about Arizona Grassroots Action, a Washington, D.C. PAC with over 85 percent of its money coming from out-of-state contributors.
Arizona Grassroots Action was created in 2014 to fund McCain’s purge of Arizona State Republican officers after his embarrassing censure by the Arizona Republican Party.
Now that McCain’s re-election bid is in full swing, Arizona Grassroots Action is running online ads trying to discredit McCain’s primary challenger, Kelli Ward.

The contributor list to both McCain PACs is a who’s who of lobbyists, individuals and corporations that benefit from McCain’s influential role as chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, his various other committee assignments and his influence and vote in the Senate.
The top donor is Gregory Wendt, who gave $250,000.
Wendt, a San Francisco, Calif. portfolio manager, was a major fundraiser for President Obama.
Other politicians who have received contributions from Wendt are Dianne Feinstein, Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell, State Democratic Parties, and numerous other politicians and PACs.
Wendt even backed former Arizona Democratic Party chairman Andrei Cherny in his failed bid for the 9th District Congressional seat in 2012.

It’s no secret the American public is fed up with politicians who have greased the system to their own advantage. McCain wrote the law allowing corporations, and special interest groups to donate millions of dollars to his campaign and its anonymous surrogates.
The money is used to aid in questionable ads attempting to harm his opponents reputations, for the sake of holding onto his seat, so he can vote for their best interests, not for ours.
Perhaps McCain should change his name to “Sen. Sellout,” considering that is exactly what he has done to his constituents in Arizona. Meanwhile, he’s laughing all the way to the bank.
