I wrote about Ann Bilyew in my very first blog posting here. How she's the CEO of a a company in the medical field.
Well, I received and overlooked an email a few weeks ago (apologies to the tipster, things were really crazy back then) which said that Ann Bilyew is a Clinton bundler and has raised over $250,000 for the campaign.
Them's not small potatoes, that's the Big Time, campaign-wise. That's "honorary ambassadorship" territory.
I was about to post here asking how one would go about verifying that she was a bundler, when suddenly!
The skies parted, choirs started singing, the rainbows came down from heaven and everything was right with the world.
And God, while you're passing out the goodies? Please let our house sale go through.
And a million dollars.
UPDATE: Someone in the comments asked if this was illlegal. No, it's not. But if you think it's appropriate for someone who's on Clinton's finance steering committee, who has raised a quarter of a million dollars (at least) for her campaign, to be participating in the toxic wasteland that is Big Pink, I welcome the attempt.
These people are the most racist, small-minded, immoral folks I've ever seen. They're willing to use Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly to smear Barack Obama. They would rather vote for John McCain than unite around the nominee when Obama reaches the threshold. They are not Democrats.
But if you're looking for "illegal" - I'll show you "illegal":
§ 441f. Contributions in name of another prohibited (pdf)
No person shall make a contribution in the name of another person or knowingly permit his name to be used to effect such a contribution, and no person shall knowingly accept a contribution made by one person in the name of another person.
That was back in March. How much more has she donated "in her partner's name" - because she herself is maxed out - since then? (Just answered my own question.)
Are these the kinds of people we want in our government? Not me.

Wonk,
Please spread the word about Ann. You can start with Mr. Sleuth, Ben Smith over at Politico who exposed the guy behind His44. Can we diary this at DKOS??
maybe its because I'm kinda uninformed on campaign financing, but I'm not sure what exactly is she doing wrong? It's not that I doubt you, Wonk; if someone could just explain to me what she's doing is wrong or link me to some federal guidelines or something, I'll put this anywhere I can, the more dirt on these hatemongers the better :)
@ anonymous: if this is in fact illegal, you better believe you can diary it at dkos

tabbylady - You are so right. I realize that not very many AAs support Hillary, but the ones that do are always the best ones.
Reminds me of the Mr. Show "Rascist in the Year 3000" "Not you, Zaxon, you's one of the good ones. There's white people what's made of gas too."
I don't know who it was, maybe it was you, talking about the Hill Hags leaving the party for McCain in November, saying that it's childish. There's been a lot of talk over there about that today, and it just keeps striking me that way: it's not courageous, it's not fearsome, it's just immature, like a bunch of little children. "Oh you don't want to play with me? Fine. I'll just take my blocks and go home SO THERE YOU BIG STUPID MEANIES!"
It's not that it's illegal. It's that she has a direct connection to the campaign.
The things that are said about Obama on Big Pink are toxic. I "know" without being able to prove anything, that the people who participate there have more than a passing connection to the Clinton campaign. That's what I'm trying to get out in the open. Anything that could possibly put an end to this race, if it takes egg on their faces over this, so be it.
Everyone feel free to diary on whatever I've posted, anywhere you want. As long as you source it to me.
Ben Smith is a lost cause. I've been emailing him ever since I dropped the Ellen Huang story and he ignores me.
Hey Wonk,
Linfar just dropped a shittastic diary on mydd: link here:http://www.mydd.com/story/2008/5/16/16229/8619
It is ripe for mockery and the best part is that some of the hill hags like dot48, Ronald, and basil9 come out of the woodwork. I also think that the person with the handle at mydd Boston Whaler is a hill hag.
Just you neighborhood student guy giving you a tip.
Student Guy, I just saw that, and I was heading back here to drop a comment pointing it out.
Did you get her myDD screen name from Big Pink? Because she admitted over there that she's "boston whaler" on myDD.
Man, I picked a good week to take a vacation. :)
Whoops, didn't read your comment close enough. I see that you weren't sure who she was when you confronted her.
Am guessing Linfar will be deleting that diary soon, if she doesn't get it deleted for her by the admins there.
Wonk, I just got a screen capture of the hillaryis44 comment where she admitted she was boston whaler.
I don't go to hillaryis44 unless I have to, I can send it if you really want it.
Also keep up the good work, you make me smile several times a day.
You've been dugg!
Sorry, let's try that again..,
You've also been reddited.
Friendly Student Guy here:

You know something birdrains. I vote. And so do my friends. And I have voted a straight dem ticket since Johnson. But you are driving me right out the door with this sort of insane crapola. Women are screaming at you to get it and you just don't. You think this sort of stuff is effective?? That I am going to become an ally now? Do you think all those little old ladies left in the dust at the caucuses are going to vote your way now? Do you think that reposting comments here from a highly partisan website proves something? You can tell yourselves I don't count, but I do. Because I can add my vote to thousands and thousands who have been treated the way I have. And we are angry about it. And we are not going to sweep it under the rug. Yu can shut me up here. but you can't take away my vote.
Sour grapes, it might be a fun addition to a entry on this...
I'll screenshot it if she gets banned/takes it down as I still have the window open, I'll email it to you if you like just post something here (i'll be gone for a few days farming, but will be back on monday)
Also, though by no means as unethical (?): the boy who raised $400 dollars for Hillary by selling his bike and video games was under the legal age to make a contribution to a campaign, so he must have done it through his parents.
Hey wonk, I rue the day I actually found hillaryis44.org. You would think that the people that people who visit that site are a different kind of democrat. I have written a few articles about them on my blog, if you ever need some backup, let me know man.
Crian, I don't think they're really "democrats" at all. I think they're more like "dixiecrats," myself.
