WHAT IS ROMNEY VICTORY? Romney Victory is a joint fundraising committee between Romney for President, the RNC, and a number of battleground fund states. Romney Victory simplifies the giving process by allowing a donor to make one contribution to fund the various committees to defeat President Obama and the Democrats in November. The legal maximum that an individual can donate to Romney Victory is $75,800 (see attached chart for breakdown). We are asking supporters to make a contribution of at least $50,000 today and become Founding Members of Romney Victory. A donation to Romney Victory will be disbursed to the following entities in the following order: Romney for President Primary Election Account () Romney for President General Election Account () Republican National Committee ($30,800) Battleground fund states ($40,000) In addition to being a Romney Victory Founding Member, $50,000 donors will be invited to a special retreat with Governor Romney at the end of June in California. Additionally, they will have preferred status at our first Presidential Inaugural retreat, as well as yet-to-be determined access at the Republican Convention in Tampa in August. Romney Victory is the official vehicle and formal committee that will raise the money and fund our efforts to defeat Barack Obama and the Democrats. Should Governor Romney not be the nominee, donations will be refunded by request, minus the costs associated with fundraising. 1
