Bernie Sanders PAC Federal Filing Clears the Air of Campaign Corruption

WASHINGTON, DC--(Marketwired - September 17, 2015) - Over the past week there have been several versions of an article that was initially published by a media blogger in D.C. that raised brows, starting a miniature media frenzy regarding a large donation from 'James Bond' to Americans Socially United, a 'pro-Bernie Sanders for President' political committee.

Last Thursday Daniel 'James Bond' Craig told a reporter from The Center for Public Integrity, "Currently, I have been informed of no evidence to question that my donation has not been used as intended. Should that situation occur, then clearly, I will review my position." The neutral statement from the Hollywood superstar leaves readers confused about whether last week's article was a direct attack to damage the credibility of Bernie Sanders, the Bernie Sanders PAC, or Cary Lee Peterson, a Congressional lobbyist that is the founder and executive director of the pro-Sanders PAC.

On Friday, Cary Peterson tells PoliWatch that Americans Socially United would be submitting its first financial filing to Federal Election Commission this week, which was confirmed by FEC to be on record as of Wednesday. When asked about the libelous comments of last Thursday's 'anti-Bernie Sanders Press Vs. pro-Sanders PAC featuring James Bond' media buzz, Peterson says "that he suggested that the news reporter, who was allegedly a former Hillary Clinton supporter to 'stick with Bernie Sanders PAC topics and less chatter about where he worked, when I got a traffic ticket a decade ago.'"

"The time is now! This grassroots movement needs to be taken to new heights; Bernie needs to get on the ballot in every state over the next few weeks or the game is over. The Craig donation was a blessing and we put it to good use. We need more supporters like him to win this thing. Sanders uses a super PAC himself to raise money, so don't shoot the messenger. I'm only here to help." -- Cary Lee Peterson

Yesterday's federal filing from the allegiant political committee included a memo statement from Peterson disclosing details about the PAC's activities, legal liabilities, and wolves in sheeps' clothing that have caused the pro-Bernie Sanders PAC more than a handful of headaches and hardships. Actblue, a super PAC [itself] that is known for raising money to support Democratic candidates, including Bernie Sanders, is mentioned in the statement filed with FEC. It's unclear why the Actblue PAC decided to end a working relationship with Americans Socially United, why Actblue would say a donation of $47,000 from the British-American superstar said to be worth $65 million 'does not meet credit card level for acceptance' (as stated in an email to Americans Socially United), or why Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders (who supposedly renounces super PACs) would work directly with one himself to raise money for his own presidential campaign, yet not give recognition to a PAC that supported his quest for presidency long before he announced he was officially running for president in April.
