Of most interesting note on the above spreadsheet are the following, which imply that Lollar was being paid a salary by the Lollar for Congress Committee:<br />
•July 14, 2010: $500<br />
•July 20, 2010: $1,000<br />
•August 2, 2010: $500<br />
•August 11, 2010: $2,000<br />
•September 13, 2010: $8,000<br />
•October 4, 2010: $11,000<br />
•November 2, 2010: $12,000<br />
•December 1, 2010: $12,000</p>
<p>This means that according to FEC records Charles Lollar received $47,000 in what was labeled as salary from his Congressional campaign account during the months before and immediately after his 2010 Congressional campaign.<br />
It&#8217;s important to note that what Lollar did in receiving a salary to run for Congress is by no means illegal, and has been done a number of times over the years, by such candidates including Alan Keyes and Joe the Plumber. While the practice of paying one&#8217;s self a salary to run for office illegal, it is certainly frowned upon and was not necessarily the intent of those donors who were contributing to Lollar&#8217;s run against Hoyer.<br />
