RNC Filing FEC Complaint Against Obama

The Washington Post is reporting that the RNC is set to file a complaint with the SEC over Senator Obama’s fundraising practices:

A lawyer for the Republican National Committee today said the party will ask the Federal Election Commission to look into the source of thousands of small-dollar contributions to the presidential campaign of Sen. Barack Obama.

The RNC is alleging that the Obama campaign was so hungry for donations it “looked the other way” as contributions piled up from suspicious, and possibly even illegal foreign donors.

“We believe that the American people should know first and foremost if foreign money is pouring into a presidential election,” said RNC Chief Counsel Sean Cairncross.

At issue is the millions of dollars that Senator Obama has collected under the reporting limit and many donations above the limit that lack necessary documentation. The complaint is necessary now, because without one Senator Obama would not be subject to a post-election audit after rejecting public financing.

Stay tuned folks. This could get interesting.

Now I don't want any ACLU Zombies coming after me, but Thank God!

You can still say God on the Internet, can't you? I should have checked with moovealong.org first.

Unfortunately, we don't have a functional FEC.

There isn't a quorum because Congress won't vote on replacements.

This will go nowhere.

The simple act of filing the complaint is good enough for now

The fact that the news outlets should most likely be forced into covering this will at least help wear down Obama’s image some.

It is well overdue!
I get excited when I observe persons with (R) beside their name showing guts and questioning the liberals.
Even Clinton's Chi-Com contributions never really got investigated.
I will be very pleased and extremely surprised if the truth sees the light of day.
