November 21, 2013 NRTWC BOD Members 8001 Braddock Road, 5th Floor Springfield, VA 22160 VIA Email Dear NRTWC Board Members and Officer: Events in Montana involving the shenanigans of Christian LeFer and former NRTWC Director of Government Affairs Dimitri Kesari have led me to communicate to you. The irresponsible actions of President Mark Mix and his unwillingness to take responsibility for his actions have put me in a difficult position. When I got into politics and public policy in the late 1980s, I did not agree to join some sort of white-collar Cosa Nostra, nor will I accept some sort of claim that I am bound by a NRTWC Omerta. The ends do not justify the means. And Jesus Christ is the standard, not the whims and arbitrary ethics of someone like Huck Walther and his protégé Mike Rothfeld. Politics is not simply the adjudication of power. It is about serving our Lord Jesus Christ. I know I have failed in this. It is time you recognized that your management leadership has done so, too. We are supposed to be the good guys and gals. We are not supposed to adopt the methods of the Union Bosses. I urge you to clean up your own house before the bad guys do it for you. 1) In late 2009 Iowa Rep. Kent Sorenson received the gift from a registered lobbyist, Alina Severs (now Alina Waggoner) of an airline ticket to fly to a seminar in Corpus Christi, Texas. I was told the value was roughly $1000. The authorities could verify this by reviewing the passenger lists in late 2009 and determining who paid for the ticket. This ticket was provided by the lobbyist at the instruction of Dimtri Kesari, the lobbyist’s employer and at the same time an employee of the National Right to Work Committee. Alina was employed by Mid-America Right to Work Committee, but Dimitri Kesari, an employee of the National Right to Work Committee, had hire and fire authority over her. I brought this to the attention of Mark Mix and Doug Stafford, Dimitri’s employers and supervisors at the Committee. I believed at the time, and still do, that this is a violation of the Iowa Ethics Law. Mr. Mix refused to deal with it and told me not to tell him about these sorts of things. 2) In the 2008 and 2010 election cycles several current and past candidates or legislators received contributions to their campaigns that were unreported either completely or in part. These contributions consisted of material goods and labor services. These things of value given to candidates to advance his or her campaign were either not reported, or they were subsidized so that part of the value given can only be understood as an in-kind contribution. These contributions were made from a non-profit corporate source in apparent violation of Iowa campaign and election law. 3) I have reason to believe this activity continued in the 2012 election cycle in Iowa. The program is very regular. I believe the officers almost to a man (or woman) have been involved to some extent. 4) The contributions discussed above consisted of the following elements: A. “Field staff” paid out of monies belonging to one or more non-profit corporate entities working in election districts on the orders and at the direction of their employers and supervisors to assist with the election of multiple candidates in Iowa, and other states. This is an apparent violation of Iowa (and possibly other states) campaign and election law both as to the source of the money and the fact that the contributions went unreported. B. Copy writing services paid out of monies belonging to one or more non-profit corporate entities working on the orders and at the direction of their employers and supervisors to assist with the election of multiple candidates in Iowa, and other states. This is an apparent violation of Iowa (and possibly other states) campaign and election law both as to the source of the money and the fact that the contributions went unreported. C. Computer equipment belonging to by one or more non-profit corporate entities used by employees of one or more non-profit corporate entities on the orders and at the direction of the officers and executive staff of these entities to write letter copy to advance the election of multiple state candidates in Iowa, and other states. This is an apparent violation of Iowa (and possibly other states) campaign and election law both as to the source of the money and the fact that the contributions went unreported. D. Printing labor services provided and paid out of monies belonging to one or more non-profit corporate entities working on the orders and at the direction of the officers and supervisors to assist with the election of multiple candidates in Iowa, and other states. This is an apparent violation of Iowa (and possibly other states) campaign and election law both as to the source of the money and the fact that the contributions went unreported. E. Printing and mail preparation equipment owned, or the use of such equipment subsidized, by one or more non-profit corporate entities and used by employees of one or more non-profit corporate entities on the orders and at the direction of the officers and executive staff of these entities to produce mailings and other election communications to advance the election of multiple state candidates in Iowa, and other states. In some cases campaign volunteers used this corporate equipment to prepare and produce such mailings for the candidates and their campaigns. This is an apparent violation of Iowa (and possibly other states) campaign and election law both as to the source of the money and the fact that the contributions went unreported. F. Use of office space leased by one or more non-profit corporate entities and used by employees of one or more non-profit corporate entities on the orders and at the direction of the officers and executive staff of these entities to produce mailings and other election communications to advance the election of multiple state candidates in Iowa, and other states. In some cases campaign volunteers used this corporately leased office space to prepare and produce such mailings for the candidates and their campaigns. This is an apparent violation of Iowa (and possibly other states) campaign and election law both as to the source of the money and the fact that the contributions went unreported. The main printing facility was relocated to Indiana in late September 2010 on the orders of Mark Mix, President, and Doug Stafford, Vice President, at the National Right to Work Committee. These two men supervised and employed Dimitri Kesari in his capacity as Director of Government Affairs. These actions also appear to be violations of Federal Law (the Internal Revenue Code) in that the expenditures were not reported on IRS Form 990 (2010), Part IV (Checklist of Required Schedules), line 3 which asks, “Did the organization engage in any direct or indirect political campaign activities on behalf of or in opposition to candidates for public office? If ‘Yes’ complete Schedule C, Part I.” I believe this may have occurred over many election cycles in multiple states at the direction of and with the involvement of Dimitri Kesari, Doug Stafford, Mark Mix and many other of the executive staff and employees of the National Right to Work Committee. The NRTWC IRS Form 990 for 2010 was checked with an “X” under the No column. This is the year for which I have direct knowledge and other evidence that such activities did take place. I believe this same issue is a problem for the Mid-America Right to Work Committee whose Chairman, Cornell Gethmann, resides in Iowa. He is also a board member of the National Right to Work Committee Sincerely, Dennis Fusaro P.O. Box 1829 Front Royal, VA 22630 540-622-7676
