Larose, J

<b>WHO'S THE FOUNDER OF THE AMERICAN BOURGEOISIE POLITICAL PARTY?&nbsp; </b>Self-proclaimed Florida "billionaire" and all-around character Josue Larose is the <a target="_blank" href="http://foolocracy.com/2010/09/florida-man-running-for-governor-claims-support-of-40-political-parties-and-14-2-million-warchest/">founder of 39</a>

political parties in his home state, including the American Music Stars

Political Party and American Socialists Political Party. That's not

all.&nbsp;

A <a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/news/2010/12/www.opensecrets.org">Center for Responsive Politics</a>

study of the most prolific political action committee treasurers show

that Larose is in the top five -- serving as treasurer for 107 unique

federal political action committees. These PACs include the United

States Racquetball Players Federal PAC, and 10 other sports PACs from

baseball to boxing to tennis. He also has <a target="blank" href="http://www.tcpalm.com/news/2010/oct/05/self-styled-billionaire-single-handedly-doubles/?print=1">started a plethora</a> of Florida State PACs including the "Billionaire Josue Larose’s Dating Women Committee."

According to Federal Election Commission filings, the e-mail he originally listed in <a target="blank" href="http://images.nictusa.com/pdf/764/28039891764/28039891764.pdf#navpanes=0">federal documents</a>

was "CelebrityJosueLarose@usa.com," but later changed to

"TreasurerJosueLarose@live.com." And the PAC websites listed in the

documents do not work.

Various blogs and newspapers have noticed this peculiar treasurer. According to a phone interview with <a target="_blank" href="http://www.rollcall.com/news/73028-1.html?cqp=1"><i>Roll Call</i></a>

early last year, Larose planned to begin raising money soon and to hire

a large staff to manage his committees. "When you have so many PACs,

you can contribute to more and more to the candidates." According to the

Center for Responsive Politics, none of these federal PACs have spent

or received any money. <i>Roll Call</i> also <a target="_blank" href="http://www.rollcall.com/issues/56_3/-48185-1.html">reported in July</a>

that Larose filed lobbying documents with Congress that registered 87

new lobbying clients under his lobbying firm -- the American Federal

Lobbying Firm. Such a number is an incredible amount of clients for an

entire lobbying firm, say nothing of one lobbyist.

See all of Larose's 87 lobbying clients in the <a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/lobby/lobbyist.php?lname=Larose%2C%20Josue&id=Y00000227420&year=2010">lobbying section</a>

of OpenSecrets.org. Larose is the sole lobbyist for interests ranging

from the US Hotels PAC to Florida Billionaires PAC to the American

Pre-Schools PAC.

According to Jon Burstein at the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.tcpalm.com/news/2010/oct/05/self-styled-billionaire-single-handedly-doubles/?print=1"><i>Sun-Sentinel</i></a>,

the bylaws of the American Bourgeoisie Political Party call for the

party to buy Larose a limousine and for the chairman to have

"round-the-clock bodyguards and require all employees to accompany him

anywhere he is going."

<b>ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT CANDIDATES HIRE LOBBYISTS:</b> The <i>Washington Post</i> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/08/AR2010120806221.html?hpid=topnews">reported</a> Wednesday a number of incoming Republican politicians have hired registered lobbyists as senior aides.
