WFB: A jet-setting Democratic Federal Elections Commission official who has been absent from public meetings for nearly two months wants the commission to hold a special session just to vote on whether or not she can attend another foreign-funded trip.
Ann Ravel, the controversial Democratic commissioner who previously came under fire for wanting to regulate Internet speech and websites such as the Drudge Report, has been phoning it in from California ever since being passed up for the attorney general position in the state.
Ravel has missed the past four public meetings held by the commission dating back to Dec. 6. Instead of attending, she has called into the meetings. During one call, Ravel seemed so distant from what was being discussed that the current Democratic chair asked if she was awake.
Ravel recently asked the commission to hold a special session just to vote on a foreign-funded junket that would allow her to travel to Ecuador to observe their elections.
The trip would run from Feb. 16 to 20, according to a memorandum submitted to the FEC.
“Commissioner Ann Ravel has been invited by the National Electoral Council of the Republic of Ecuador (the ‘Council’) to observe Ecuador’s general election that will take place on February 19, 2017,” the memo states. “The dates of travel would be February 16 to 20, 2017. The Council has offered to pay for Commissioner Ravel’s airfare, lodging, internal travel, and meals.” MORE
I have a better idea. Send her to Ecuador, and tell them they can keep her.

Ecuador? Isn’t that the same country whose embassy in London is home to Julian Assange? Coincidence, I’m sure.
I bet her colleagues laughed….maybe not.
Is it OK to fire her though I don’t even know her but because I just don’t like her?
“Ann Ravel, the controversial Democratic commissioner who previously came under fire for wanting to regulate Internet speech and websites such as the Drudge Report…”
Ann, let me shiw yiu the mission statement of the FEC:
“The duties of the FEC, which is an independent regulatory agency, are to disclose campaign finance information, to enforce the provisions of the law such as the limits and prohibitions on contributions, and to oversee the public funding of Presidential elections.”
I don’t see anything in there about regulating speech, do you? GTFO.

oops
Her three qualifications to be a commissioner: 1. She is butt ugly 2. she hates men and 3: she likes to spend tax money on her own pleasure and comfort!!
Let he go. Then, cancel her passport while she’s gone.
Her term is up on April 30th according to Wiki but then all of their terms seem to be up (except 1) and are serving until replaced. Surely to God Trump’s people can find 3 Dems and 3 GOP that are more concerned with ensuring fair elections, donations are legal and above board (no more visa donations from Europe signed Mickey Mouse) and don’t let party politics into their job. I’m not saying the ones there are guilty of this but it’s time to sweep clean.
Um, NO!, but you -can- tender your resignation.
