Reform Groups File Complaint Against Democratic-Leaning 527

According to this press release, the Campaign Legal Center, Democracy 21, and the Center for Responsive Politics filed a complaint with the FEC charging Americans Coming Together (ACT), “a registered federal political committee, with illegally spending soft money on its efforts to defeat President George Bush. The violations of the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA) include ACT’s improper calculation of the FEC allocation rules to illegally spend more soft money on its voter mobilization activities than the rules allow, ACT’s illegal use of soft money to pay for its direct mail fundraising communications that are required to be funded with hard money and ACT’s improper solicitation of funds.”
