Bush Campaign Sues FEC Over 527s
Posted by The Editors | 02:39 PM
President Bush's campaign filed a lawsuit Wednesday, arguing that the Federal Election Commission is taking too long to address what the campaign calls illegal spending of corporate, union and big individual donations to influence the presidential race.
"To prevent these 527s from continuing to violate federal election laws, we have asked the federal court to step in and order the FEC to act," said Tom Josefiak, general counsel for the Bush-Cheney campaign.
AP reports that the Bush campaign views its action as the first step in its legal campaign in limiting 527s.
