The McCain FEC Complaint

By Michael J.W. Stickings

This is what needs to be done when John McCain breaks the law -- which he has done.

FDL's CHS: "[On Tuesday], on behalf of a large number of progressive bloggers and activists, Jane [Hamsher] went to the FEC and filed an official complaint against John McCain's alleged campaign finance violations. We've been asking a lot of questions about this, and the answers have been less than forthcoming. So, instead of just sitting here and stewing about yet another GOP ethical problem, we decided to put our action where our concerns were."

I'm one of those bloggers/activists -- the list is here, and what good company it is -- and I encourage you all to add your names and comments to the complaint.

**********

As Jane notes, CNN has picked up on the complaint. Which is a very positive development. The details are rather technical, and it's hardly the kind of story the media and the general public pay much attention to, but, again, we're talking about McCain breaking the law for the direct benefit of his presidential campaign.
