Bush Campaign Targets Kerry's Soft Money

WASHINGTON - President Bush 's re-election campaign asked supporters Monday to urge federal officials to crack down on groups spending millions of dollars to promote Democrat John Kerry its second such move in a week.

Campaign chairman Marc Racicot asked recipients in an e-mail to press the Federal Election Commission to approve proposed restrictions on the groups, which are spending "soft money" — corporate, union and unlimited donations — on ads and get-out-the-vote efforts aimed at helping Kerry win the election.

"To make sure that everyone plays by the same rules we need you to tell the commissioners they should force these groups to comply with federal law," Racicot wrote. Supporters could forward an e-mail drafted by the campaign or write their own comments to the FEC.
The campaign and the Republican National Committee last week filed a complaint asking the commission to clear the way for Bush to seek court action to stop the groups' spending.


This is SO hypocritical! The Repugnicans have their soft money groups too! They whine about Demo-rats' 527 organizations but they have 501c organizations that do the exact same thing.



The 'w' people are getting desperate - they thought their HUGE record-setting amount of money in their 'hore chest would guarantee them the win.
WRONG!

House GOP Committee Pays Soft Money Fine

WASHINGTON - The National Republican Congressional Committee has agreed to pay a $280,000 civil fine for transferring big donations known as "soft money" to an outside group to finance ads in the 2000 election.

The Federal Election Commission says the NRCC transferred $500,000 in soft money to the U.S. Family Network during the primary season in 1999 to fund political ads that the NRCC should have paid for with a mix of soft money — unlimited donations from companies and others — and hard money, limited contributions from individuals.
The U.S. Family Network sent $300,000 to another group, Americans for Economic Growth. AEG then spent about $260,000 to run radio ads in fall 1999 accusing Democrats of planning to raid the Social Security fund and use it on other programs.
One ad aired in the districts of four Democratic House incumbents considered vulnerable in the 2000 election. The other ran in the districts of six Republican House incumbents and one Democratic incumbent the FEC said were "perceived to need shoring up to ally themselves with Republicans" on an upcoming House budget vote.
The NRCC knew the U.S. Family Network planned to transfer money from the party committee to another group to pay for anti-Democratic ads, the FEC found.
The commission announced the outcome of the case Friday. The FEC inquiry was prompted by a complaint filed by the NRCC's rival, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
Under a law that took effect after the 2002 election, the national party committees are banned from spending soft money.
