Rely on Your Beliefs Fund
The Rely on Your Beliefs Fund (ROYB Fund) is an American Political Action Committee associated with Rep. Roy Blunt. Since its inception, the fund has collected and spent more than $1.8 million.
On May 23, 2002, the ROYB Fund was forced to enter into a consent decree with the Missouri Ethics Commission for failing to comply with Missouri law by not filing a statement of organization and required reports in a timely fashion. [1]
