Campaign Finance - Rubio, Marco Rubio for US Senate, Response to FEC Re: 30 Day Post General Report (2010)

MARCO RUBIO FOR US SENATE SECRETARY OF THE SENATE 11 FEB 15 AM 10: 36 February 8, 2011 Federal Election Commission 999 E Street, NW Washington, D.C. 20463 ID Number: C00458844 Reference: 30 Day Post General Report (10/14/2010-11/22/2010) To Whom It May Concern: We are in receipt of the Commission's letter regarding the above referenced report. Please see below for our response. Our committee realizes how important the contribution limits and source prohibitions established by the Commission are and strive to abide by those limits and rectify all instances in the timeframe prescribed. Thus, we have reviewed all of the donations referenced in the Commission's letter and have reattributed, redesignated or refunded the required amounts for each one. We also realize the importance of reporting last minute contributions. Our committee reported hundreds of last minute contributions during this period. After reviewing the list you provided, it appears that our report was not received for one of the days required. We regret this mistake and will work to ensure it does not happen again. We did not file a duplicate for any contributions. The one in question is actually two different people and was reported as such. Our committee's procedures are in compliance with the best efforts and donor identification provisions cited in your letter. As an initial matter, all committee solicitations request the donor's first name, middle initial, and last name; notify the donor that the Committee is required to report occupation and employer information; and request that the donor provide such information. For those donors who choose not to provide the occupation and employer information, the Committee (within thirty days of receiving the contribution) sends the required follow-up letter, which asks the donor again to provide the information, and again advises the donor of the Committee's obligation to report the information. These follow up letters include a postage paid return envelope for the donor's convenience. Finally, all such information received, including the contributor's address, is reported. Any additional information received subsequent to the filing of the original report will be included on amendments to be filed by the Committee. Thank you for the opportunity to respond. Best, Marco Rubio for U.S. Senate 11020094203
