Interesting, the company doing the robo calls is registered in MN as a foreign company

[BadDog40]

I just did a business records search on the company doing the robo calls, FLS Connect, LLC, and discovered that they are listed as a Foreign Limited Liability Company. So it appears not only are they making these bullshit calls they send the money they are paid from the McCain campaign overseas.

1. Just to add insult to injury. Disgusting RNC.

2. Send it to KO, Rachel Maddow, HuffPost..shoot send it to MSM.

Maybe we can end this crap. And it can blow up on their faces.

3. I do think this needs to be looked at further

Because it appears there is a strong chance they structured it this way as a way to avoid taxes and the legalities could be questioned. I've owned a couple of corporations and you just can't register a business in a foreign country and still conduct business here and call yourself a foreign business, otherwise every company would do that.

4. Is there a lawyer in the house? Sounds fishy to me.

This may violate election law or tax law or something, I don't know. But it doesn't sound right.

5. Foreign does not mean from another country in this situation.

If an out-of-state business entity is “doing business” in (insert name of state), it must file a foreign application.

6. In order for a company to do business in Minnesota it must be registered.

It can be organized as a domestic business entity (organized in Minnesota) or as a foreign business entity (organized outside of Minnesota).

This is the same for all of the states.
