So last September, it was almost news that Boehner's PAC received larger contributions than legally allowed:

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer:

The Federal Election Commission is examining whether dozens of political action committees and individuals contributed more than the legally allowed amount to House Speaker John Boehner during last year's election cycle.

Letters the Federal Election Committee sent Monday to Friends of John Boehner indicated that donors including coal, energy, and gambling interests, exceeded contribution limits to Boehner's committee by more than $150,000.

So where did the money come from?

Coalpac and Minepac, which represent obviously mining interests; Exelon, Luminant, and Constellation, representing power companies; Caesars and Penn National gaming enterprises.

Gee, coal mining, coal fired power, and gambling.  Nice, wholesome, and family-friendly.

        "Although the commission may take further legal action concerning the acceptance of excessive contributions, your prompt action to refund the excessive amount will be taken into consideration," the letters say.

This election cycle, it would appear that the fundraising is consuming Boehner's time:

Cory Fritz, a Boehner spokesman, said the speaker has donated to more than half of the GOP's 233 incumbents and contributed the legal maximum to 21 of the party's top 2014 candidates.

Transfers from Boehner's committees — he has also written a separate $640,000 check — account for more than 30% of the NRCC's $6 million May haul. He has already headlined more than 150 fundraisers and cut $1.4 million in checks directly to candidates and incumbents. In August, Boehner will embark on a 14-state fundraising tour.

Since Boehner NEVER comes in to see his rank and file constituents....why don't we email and call his office and ask why he is spending August touring 14 states instead of Ohio's 8th?  CONTACT PAGE for EMAILING (but it might make you put your zip plus 4 digit zip in to get here)....   http://johnboehner.house.gov/htbin/formproc_za.pl?/boehner/form_zipauth.txt&form=/boehner/get_contact_page2.asp&fpGetVer=2     or Google Boehner and go to Contact page,,,  PH NOS.
