House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s campaign committee has repeatedly promised her donors she would personally match their financial contributions, but as of the last reporting period she hadn’t provided a dime of her own money, records show. I have deliberately placed myself on various Democrat mailing lists (there are few sacrifices I won’t make for our readers) and can confirm that I have received many pleas for donations from Nancy with the offer of matching what I donate. Nancy Pelosi for Congress sent at least 50 fundraising emails from January through March, pledging she would “personally” match contributions up to a certain multiple. That’s according to an Axios analysis of a political email archive maintained by researchers at Princeton University.
“This is so critical, I’m personally 4x-matching all gifts for these final 24 hours,” declared a typical email, sent in Pelosi’s voice in January.
Yet reports filed with the Federal Election Commission show Pelosi did not donate any personal funds to her campaign during the first quarter, nor has she ever done so .
As Axios notes, candidates can donate unlimited sums to their own campaigns, but face the same limits on donations to other candidates as the rest of us do. So, Nancy Pelosi could not personally match donations to Democrat candidates in excess of $2800 per election and $5000 per year.
When it comes to legal liability, Axios has this to say: The big picture: Donation-matching is one of a number of popular fundraising gimmicks, yet critics say that in most cases, it’s doubtful any actual matching occurs. The Justice Department recently signaled it considers such offers to be legally questionable if donations aren’t actually matched as promised.
I would think so. In addition to campaign donation laws, what about federal wire fraud law ? Whoever, having devised or intending to devise any scheme or artifice to defraud , or for obtaining money or property by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, or promises, transmits or causes to be transmitted by means of wire, radio, or television communication in interstate or foreign commerce, any […]

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
