PCS describes itself as "an accounting services vendor specializing in FEC regulations. Our comprehensive approach to your individual accounting needs will deliver you from the headaches and legal ramifications of FEC non-compliance." Interesting that all know PCS clients have strong Republican right-wing affiliations.
In May 2004, Swift Boat Veterans for Truth (SBVT) paid $7,500 to PCS for (FEC) "Compliance Consulting". Despite this fact, to-date their have been five (5) formal legal complaints filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) against SBVT for alleged FEC violations.
On its website, PCS claims that: "Our consultants and analysts are career experts in campaign and PAC accounting, finance, administration and compliance."
However, there is no discloser as to who exactly those consultants are, nor are there any employees shown for PCS, per public records of the State of Virginia. When this investigator called PCS’s phone number, all I/we received was an answering service who didn’t know when any PCS representatives would be in the office.

(C) More on Robert “Bob” J. Perry (Houston)-----------------------------------------
Mr. Perry gave:
1..$200,000 to O’Neill’s SBVT organization,
2..$300,000 to the Majority Leader's Fund of Republican Dick Armey (Dallas)
....which was the Fund’s single largest donation since inception in 2000.
......VP Dick Cheney’s domestication address is Dallas, Texas
......Harlan Crow (son of Trammell Crow) (Both Dallas) donated $25,000 to O’Neill’s SBVT organization
3..$165,000 to Texans for a Republican Majority of Republican House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (Houston)
....Mr. Perry is the single largest private Texas donor to Tom DeLay and his interests.
Since 2000, Mr. Perry has donated approx. $5.2 million to Republican candidates and Republican political interests.
All the above individuals are legally (or illegally) “in bed” with each other (business/political interests) and have been for years. They just consider it “good ol’ boy Texas politics” nothing more, and none of it is illegal as far as they are concerned.
Tom DeLay has significant legal problems due to a major criminal grand jury investigation, (almost 100 subpoenas issued including DeLay’s daughter). Also the Federal investigators at Enron (Houston) accidentally uncovered documents that seriously and criminally incriminates Tom DeLay, certain donors, and certain Bush-Cheney-GOP members and related parties.
Enron was used for a Bush Family and Bush-Cheney-GOP front operation before it collapsed, which as been well documented by investigators. Further, Tom DeLay and Bob Perry are like Mutt and Jeff. “If one is around, the other cannot be that far away” accordingly to highly knowledgeable sources.
