Alex Tarascio (Center) Political Operative for Romney and American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity Speaks About His "Cause" on Bain Capital Owned Radio Station
Nathan Sproul, the former Executive Director of the Arizona Republican Party, whose multi-headed political operations have left a widening eight-year trail of voter registration fraud allegations, is tied to yet another newly discovered operation called California Grassroots Mobilization.
California Grassroots Mobilization is the third firm linked to Nathan Sproul which was registered with a Secretary of State by a subsidiary of the foreign corporation, Wolters Kluwer – a sprawling conglomerate based in Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, with operations in 35 foreign countries. Why Wolters Kluwer is fronting for Sproul and why a foreign corporation has been involved in the 2006 mid-terms, and the 2008 and 2012 U.S. Presidential elections should rouse the FBI and Justice Department from their perpetual slumber on anything that doesn’t involve a man in a turban.
California Grassroots Mobilization shows Meghan Cox, Nathan Sproul’s partner in Lincoln Strategy Group, as a “member” on its registration with the Secretary of State in Arizona with a residential condo near Sproul’s office as its address. The company was first registered in California in 2006 with no ability to trace it to Sproul when thousands of falsified voter registrations turned up in the state.
According to records at the California Secretary of State, the California Republican Party paid California Grassroots Mobilization over $2.4 million between May 2006 and July 2007, including the eye popping amounts of $393,941.24 on November 2, 2006 and $431,022.76 on November 10, 2006. The November 10 amount, the largest of the payments, did not show up until after the November 7 election, when 33 Senate seats were being contested.
According to LinkedIn profiles of people who have worked for Nathan Sproul and Meghan Cox groups, they were “political operatives,” seamlessly moving between a Republican candidate’s campaign, voter registration and work for a monster coal lobby group called American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity (ACCCE), a compilation of 34 of the largest electricity generators, coal producers and vendors.
