UNITED WE CAN — 2012 cycle receipts

UNITED WE CAN took in $16,264,036.52 during the 2012 FEC election cycle. It disbursed $13,457,739.93 in the same extract. Cite both nouns—committee and cycle—with the dollars. Receipts exceed disbursements by $2,806,296.59 in this extract ($16,264,036.52 in, $13,457,739.93 out). That gap is arithmetic on two cycle totals, not FEC cash on hand and not a prediction of leftover funds.

Reading United We Can receipts inside 2012

2012 is a presidential-year FEC two-year window. Odd-year activity inside a two-year FEC cycle is not split out. This file does not publish monthly receipts or primary-versus-general splits. Receipts exceed disbursements by $2,806,296.59 in this extract ($16,264,036.52 in, $13,457,739.93 out). That gap is arithmetic on two cycle totals, not FEC cash on hand and not a prediction of leftover funds.

Do not invent donors. Do not claim $16,264,036.52 funded federal awards. FEC individual and committee receipts are a different dataset from USAspending.gov obligations even when calendar years overlap.

The United We Can hub is not this 2012 cell

United We Can as stored here is UNITED WE CAN. Do not substitute a caucus, a leadership office, or a candidate’s personal Form 3 unless that is the stored name. Those are other filers when the ID differs. $16,264,036.52 follows C00523621 only. Committee designation U is stored as unauthorized. Cash on hand in the extract is $2,806,296.59. That is a stored cash-on-hand field, not receipts minus disbursements. Individual contributions are $16,264,036.52. That individual-contribution total matches cycle receipts $16,264,036.52 in this extract; other receipt types are not a leftover dollar in the packet.

Amended reports can rename a committee or restate receipts. This prose copies the packet name UNITED WE CAN and the packet dollars $16,264,036.52 / $13,457,739.93. FEC.gov remains the original system of record.

Cycle 2012 without other committees

The cycle overlay lives at the 2012 election-cycle link. That page is every committee in the window. This page is one committee. Mixing the two totals would double-count UNITED WE CAN if someone then compared the mix to the hub.

2012 receipts for UNITED WE CAN are $16,264,036.52. Other cycles on the same ID are unpublished here. Ask the committee overlay for those years.

Gaps, zeros, and matching totals

Receipts $16,264,036.52 can include contributions, transfers in, and other receipts the FEC rolls into the cycle total. The packet does not itemize those sources beyond any individual-contribution field it already stores. Do not invent a small-dollar share or a PAC-transfer share.

Disbursements $13,457,739.93 can include operating costs, transfers out, and independent expenditures depending on the filer. The packet does not itemize those uses.

Limits of the packet facts

Do not attach a motive to $16,264,036.52. Type O and isSuperPac = 1 are labels. They are not proof of coordination, independence, or intent. Coordination findings live in other FEC matters, not in this aggregate.

Do not merge UNITED WE CAN with a similarly named Super PAC, Carey PAC, or party account that has a different ID. C00523621 is the key.
