Perm\u00edtanme aclarar esto: \u00bfla DGA tiene derecho a llamar "independiente" al dinero recaudado por el Gobernador y gastado en su nombre?<\/p>

La Asociaci\u00f3n de Gobernadores Dem\u00f3cratas (DGA) present\u00f3 una demanda en un tribunal federal<\/a> yesterday against Connecticut's State Election Enforcement Commission alleging that Connecticut's strong campaign finance laws interfere with their First Amendment right to spend millions of dollars in so-called \"independent expenditures\" in the 2014 gubernatorial race.<\/p>

The problem for the DGA is that Dannel Malloy, Governor of Connecticut served as its Finance Chair in 2011 and helped them rake in more than $20 million; and at least $1.4 million of that came from Connecticut donors. So if the DGA spends millions on behalf of Malloy when he runs for Governor, can they say with a straight face that these expenditures are \"independent?\"<\/p>

Of course they can't. Because if Malloy is raising money for the DGA and then they turn around and spend it on his behalf, that is called \"coordination\" and by definition, it is not \"independent.\" According to the Connecticut Mirror, both the DGA and Malloy have used the same consulting firm, Global Strategy Group. Global Strategy Group has done polling for the DGA and Roy Occhiogrosso is a former staffer of the Governor's and Ahora es empleado global y asesor de Malloy.<\/a>. If activities are coordinated between a campaign and another political entity, then it is not \"independent\" under federal or state law.<\/p>

La DGA no tiene derecho a ampararse en la Primera Enmienda para violar las leyes de financiamiento de campa\u00f1as.<\/p>

Common Cause Connecticut y su aliado Connecticut Citizen Action Group han pedido al gobernador Malloy que D\u00edgale a la DGA que retire su demanda. <\/a><\/p>

Malloy has been a champion of campaign finance reform and credited Connecticut's landmark Citizens' Election program for helping him have clean resources to compete against a millionaire in the 2010 primary and a millionaire in the general election.<\/p>

There is more at stake here for Malloy. This lawsuit could pave the way for Malloy's millionaire opponent Tom Foley to be able to run under Connecticut's public financing program and then give millions of his own money to two independent expenditure groups, one of them run by his own treasurer, and those groups could then spend millions on Foley's behalf. Of course, we all know that wouldn't be \"independent\" spending either -- but that is the convoluted logic at play here.<\/p>

\u00a1Llame hoy al Gobernador Malloy al 1-800-406-1527 y d\u00edgale que le solicite a la DGA que retire su demanda!<\/strong><\/p>"}}]},"yoast_head":"\nWhen “Independent” Expenditures Aren’t - Common Cause<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.commoncause.org\/es\/articulos-2\/cuando-los-gastos-independientes-no-son\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"es_MX\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"When “Independent” Expenditures Aren’t\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.commoncause.org\/es\/articulos-2\/cuando-los-gastos-independientes-no-son\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Common Cause\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CommonCause\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.commoncause.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/CC-Share-Graphic-Main9.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"630\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@CommonCause\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commoncause.org\/articles\/when-independent-expenditures-arent\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.commoncause.org\/articles\/when-independent-expenditures-arent\/\",\"name\":\"When “Independent” Expenditures Aren’t -
