Tell the FCC to Enforce McCain’s Own Law
March 27, 2008 — politicsplus2
Imagine if Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama were breaking the law while campaigning - I guarantee there would be a shitstorm (TM) on cable news!
But John McCain is breaking campaign finance laws right now - the very law he wrote!
On Tuesday, Jane Hamsher of FireDogLake filed a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission and I was proud to sign it.
By his own admission, John McCain is breaking the law. His latest spending report has him $4 million over the limit he imposed on himself when he accepted public financing.
We’re not about to let this stand, so on Tuesday we filed an FEC complaint against the McCain campaign (check out the video of delivery to the right). [there]Now we’re set for a second larger delivery, on behalf of the thousands of Americans who won’t stand by while John McCain breaks the law.
I signed it and encourage you to do likewise.

Welcome, EB.
I wish I were, but McConJob is clearly outside the law on this one. He may get away with it, because McConnell has the FEC appointments necessary for the FEC to function, hog tied in the Senate.
