Highest Campaign Contributors Support Republicans - Maurice Aguirre

Highest Campaign Contributors Support Republicans - Maurice Aguirre
The richest us residents are playing a larger role in national politics in these modern times, thanks to campaign financial laws disentangled of the Supreme Court's conservative majority. Billionaires may now make unrestricted contributions to super PACs, or, when they have a preference for discretion, to nonprofit organizations that really don't divulge their very own donors.

On the other hand, the rich are actually providing contributions directly to nominees and also political parties. The fact is, the Supreme Court ruled in April in McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission that people with the means may contribute to as many candidates and governmental party committees as they desire.

In Texas Maurice Aguirre, chief lobbyist for DG Group, LLP is amongst the greatest contributors to Republican Party candidates and committees.

The Dallas lobbyist Maurice Aguirre has long been a promoter of Republican politics. He is a significant support of Christian organizations, young children education programs, animal wellbeing, bringing up big bucks for corporate and business causes in The State Of Texas etcetera. Maurice Aguirre Lobbyist declares the fact that as long as you start treating your current funders like teammates, they are assisting you bring this idea to life. As long as you inspire them to be on your team, they will not just fund you, but they're going to attract other people and you should get your business off the ground.

Organizations Reporting Expenses under Section 15 - Maurice Aguirre DG Group LLP

Organizations Reporting Expenses under Section 15 - Maurice Aguirre DG Group LLP

Section 15(a) of the LDA allows entities that are required to report and do report lobbying expenditures under section 6033(b)(8) of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") to use IRC definitions for purposes of LDA Sections (4)(a)(3) and 5(b)(4). Charitable organizations, as described in IRC Section 501(c)(3), are required to report their lobbying expenditures under Section 6033(b)(8) of the IRC. They may treat as LDA expenses the amounts they treat for "influencing legislation" under the IRC.

Section 15(b) of the LDA allows entities that are subject to section 162(e) of the IRC to use IRC definitions for purposes of LDA Sections (4)(a)(3) and 5(b)(4). The eligible entities include for-profit organizations (other than lobbying firms) and tax-exempt organizations such as trade associations that calculate their lobbying expenses for IRC purposes with reference to Section 162(e) rules. We believe that this reporting option is available to include a small number of trade association registrants not required by the IRC to report non-deductible lobbying expenses to their members (i.e., those whose members are tax-exempt).

Maurice Aguirre Dallas Lobbyist: 

 
If an eligible organization elects to report under Section 15, it must do so consistently for both reports covering a calendar year. The electing organization also must report all expenses that fall within the applicable Internal Revenue Code definition. The total that is ultimately reportable to the Internal Revenue Service is the figure that would be used for Line 13 reporting. Line 13 of LD-2 would require any organization to report if the amount of lobbying expenses were less than $10,000, or $10,000 or more. If the expense amount is $10,000 or more, it should be rounded to the nearest $20,000. Line 14 of LD-2 requires the electing organization to mark as applicable, either the "Method B" box (IRC Section 6033(b)(8)) or the "Method C" box (IRC Section 162(e)). The Secretary and Clerk are aware that IRC and LDA are not harmonized in terms of expense reporting, and registrants are advised that backing out grass roots and state and local lobbying expenses that would alter the IRS reportable total is not permitted.

Revised Forms, Instructions and Format - Maurice Aguirre DG Group LLP

Revised Forms, Instructions and Format - Maurice Aguirre DG Group LLP

LD-1, the registration form, and LD-2, the reporting form, have been revised. Previous editions of these forms are obsolete.

Instructions for both LD-1 and LD-2 have been updated to correspond with the new forms.

LD-1U, the former update form, has been eliminated and shall not be used. Updated registration information is reported on LD-2 on a semiannual basis only (unless the Secretary or the Clerk notifies a registrant of an error and requests a correction immediately).

Maurice Aguirre Dallas Lobbyist: LD-1 Changes

The revised LD-1 (6/98) closely resembles the obsolete LD-1 (1/96) . The changed content is discussed below.

The lines are renumbered.

Effective Date of Registration: The registrant is required to enter the date the registrant was retained to lobby for the client or first makes a lobbying contact for the client, whichever is earlier. This entry will assist the Secretary and the Clerk in assessing the timeliness of the registration.

Identification Number: This line is left blank for an initial registration. The numbers are assigned by the Office of Public Records and the Legislative Resource Center after the registration is processed and will be unique to each registrant-client relationship.

Optional e-mail address: The contact person may include his/her e-mail address if he/she wishes to receive electronic correspondence.

A "Self" box has been added on Line 7 ("Client name").

A lobbyists job title is no longer required. His or her status as a former covered executive or legislative branch official is the only information required other than the lobbyists name.

"Yes" and "No" boxes for Affiliated Organizations and Foreign Entities are added. One of the most common errors on the registrations that have been filed under the LDA is leaving the affiliated organization and foreign entity lines blank. The "Yes" and "No" boxes signal to the registrant that entry is required.

Maurice Aguirre, Dallas: Every line on LD-1 must be completed. If the space on LD-1 is insufficient for any of the required information, attach additional pages as needed, clearly stating the names of the registrant and client and identifying the line number(s) to which the information pertains.
