RawStory reveals that the chairman of the San Diego GOP, Tony Krvaric, is a software pirate.
From the article:

Online research reveals that Krvaric is the co-founder of Fairlight, a band of software crackers which later evolved into an international video and software piracy group that law enforcement authorities say is among the world?s largest such crime rings. After co-founding Fairlight in Sweden, Krvaric established U.S. operations for the organization, including an arm headquartered in Southern California?a major center for the computer and video game industry.

This is particularly juicy since he "claims that he was inspired by the legacy of Ronald Reagan and criticized the European system for not providing an economic climate that would ?encourage free enterprise and competition.?
Free enterprise and competition seems to include software piracy in his view...

And of course, how did he get his Greencard and became a citizen with that background?
The article seems to imply that he ran his company while he was in H1 status. That's already a violation of immigration laws...

Update: Here is the second part of the story.
