[quote]It turns out that the Republican National Committee is a regular
recipient of political contributions from Nicholas T. Boyias, the
owner and CEO of Marina Pacific Distributors, one of the largest
producers and distributors of gay porn in the United States. This
recent article on Marina Pacific's new marketing campaign form XBiz, a
porn industry trade sheet, notes that, in addition to producing its
own material, the "company acts as a distribution house to hundreds of
lines, mostly gay, 40 of which can be purchased only through MPD."
The company actually seems to be a trendsetter in the industry. As
Boyias recently noted, "We have always modeled ourselves after a
Fortune-style company. They are the models of exceptional customer
service. We have formed strategic alliances with our vendors and
customers alike, offering them tools and marketing to assist them in
succeeding with their business models. Our one-on-one interpersonal
relationships have never been duplicated in the distribution
industry."
Some recent releases include "Fire in the Hole", "Flesh and Boners",
even a "Velvet Mafia" series.
FEC.gov lists Boyias as contributing to the RNC three times in 2004
and two times in 2005. The NRCC got a little too. But only $250.
The FEC records list Boyias as either "self employed" or as owner and
CEO of NTB Inc. But the California Secretary of State's website lists
Boyias' NTB, Inc as located at 7077 Vineland Ave, which turns out to
be the same address where Marina Pacific is located.[quote]
