Restore Our Future, the conservative super PAC backing Mitt Romney’s bid for president, reported receiving nearly $15 million in the last month.
Many of the usual conservative bankrollers came out to support the PAC. Bob Perry, the owner of Perry Homes and a principal funder of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth group that helped bring down Democrat John Kerry's 2004 presidential bid, gave the super PAC $2 million this month, bringing his total support to $9 million.
Conservative billionaire Bill Koch gave $1 million through Oxbow Carbon, a Florida-based coal services company of which he is the founder and CEO.
The coal industry has been none too happy with President Obama. In addition to the contribution from Oxbow, Joseph Craft III, the president of Alliance Coal, fired $500,000 off to the pro-Romney super PAC.
Within the 279 transactions, there were seven energy companies based out of the same address in Missouri that donated a combined total of $150,000 to Restore Our Future.
Listed at 211 N. Broadway, Suite 2600 in St. Louis, the companies -- Foresight Energy LLC, Hillsboro Energy LLC, Macoupin Energy LLC, Raven Energy LLC, SITran LLC, Sugar Camp Energy LLC and Williamson Energy LLC -- are all first-time donors to the conservative super PAC, and each of their contributions was dated Sept. 19, 2012.
All donated $20,000 with the exceptions of Raven Energy and SITran, which gave $25,000 each.
