When you look at BOTH accounts, you notice that the Cappiello-Connecticut Victory 08 account raised over 300,000 this quarter. This money came primarily from one source...the Bush-Kissinger taxpayer-funder fundraiser from earlier this year hosted by the ConnecticutGOP. You know, the fundraiser that cost guests a whopping 1,000 per head to attend (it was reported that the affair netted about 750,000).
So, in the end, Cappiello numbers aren't really what they appear to be. That's not to say that Cappiello isn't in decent shape BUT when you hear Cappiello's spin, read between the lines and take a look at where his money actually came from.

On September 26, 2007, ten plaintiffs filed suit in response to an arrest of aday laborers at a public park in Danbury, Connecticut. Plaintiffs amended their complaint on November 26, 2007.
The amended complaint states that plaintiffs sought to remedy the continued discriminatory and unauthorized enforcement of federal immigration laws against the Latino residents of the City of Danbury by Danbury's mayor and its police department.
Plaintiffs allege that the arrests violated their Fourth Amendment rights and the Connecticut Constitution because defendants conducted the arrests without valid warrants, in the absence of exigent circumstances, and without probable cause to believe that plaintiffs were engaged in unlawful activity. In addition, plaintiffs allege that defendants improperly stopped, detained, investigated, searched and arrested plaintiffs. Plaintiffs also allege that defendants violated their Fourteenth Amendment rights when they intentionally targeted plaintiffs, and arrested and detained them on the basis of their race, ethnicity and perceived national origin. Plaintiffs raise First Amendment, Due Process and tort claims.
Plaintiffs request declaratory relief, damages and attorneys fees.
