3. Quick google searches for +'Cliff Hoelz' +Phoenix Lead us to the Greater Phoenix Tea Party Patriots http://phoenixteaparty.ning.com/... and a FaceBook Page
4. The 'donate' button on hermancainpac.com is a broken link to a non-existent website 'hermancanpac.com' - ie without the 'i' in Cain.
5. Archived articles on HermanCainPac.com purport to date back to January 2011, yet the site was only registered in May, 2011.
6. Hoelz names himself to be an employee of hermancain.com (facebook page).
7. A ping to hermancainpac.com returns 184.168.121.107; A domain-by-ip query returns the following domains (I'm replacing one or more characters with asterisks to so as not to drive traffic to the sites:

Ver*yTh*VoteA*.org (registered to Clifford Hoelz)

UnitedCon*ervativeAm*Network.com (registered to Clifford Hoelz)
