Brewer Pledged Cash For Immigration Fight, Instead Spent It Buying Copies Of Her Own Book

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) launched a special fundraising political action committee in October, pledging to
use the money to fight illegal immigration and take on other issues she believes in. But based on financial disclosures
filed this week, she has so far used it to do little more than buy copies of her own book.

The governor had raised only about $22,000 for Jan PAC by the end of 2011 and spent nearly a quarter of the cash,
buying books from Amazon and paying a bill at the luxurious Waldorf Astoria hotel in Orlando, Fla.
The rest of the money is still in the bank.

Brewer spent $3,423 on books and shipping from the online retailer, according to the financial reports. On her fundraising website,
she offers a signed copy of her book “Scorpions for Breakfast” to every donor who gives $100 or more.

In early December she also spent $624 for a night at the swank Waldorf Astoria in Orlando, which her
financial disclosures repeatedly misspell as “Orlanda.” Another $513 went to airfare on Southwest Airlines.

Keep up the good work, Jan.
