Hint: it is NOT the Judean Popular Front

"John McCain is a campaign finance criminal who is flouting the very regulations he championed."

Sign the McCain FEC complaint.

As Jane Hamsher so aptly notes in the video below, John McCain is a "campaign finance criminal." We've written about this issue repeatedly here, (http://www.americablog.com/2008/03/mccain-busts-fecs-spending-cap.html) here (http://www.americablog.com/2008/02/mccain-stymied-in-his-scam-of-public.html), and here (http://www.americablog.com/2008/03/john-mccains-media-pals-cant-seem-to.html )at AMERICAblog.
The Washington Post ( http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/02/21/AR2008022103141.html?hpid=topnews) reported on the potential for criminal behavior by McCain:
Knowingly violating the spending limit is a criminal offense that could put McCain at risk of stiff fines and up to five years in prison.
Now, based on McCain's latest campaign finance report, (http://query.nictusa.com/cgi-bin/dcdev/forms/C00430470/328304/) we know the GOP nominee has violated the spending limit. So, it's time to take it to the next level. Yesterday, Jane delivered a complaint about McCain's criminality to the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) -- and gives the background:


Christy Hardin Smith explains the effort to hold McCain accountable:
http://firedoglake.com/2008/03/26/holding-mccain-accountable-for-campaign-finance-violations/
We decided that McCain shouldn't be allowed to get away with this without questions -- lots and lots of questions -- being asked. The hypocrisy of the so-called "maverick" violating a law which he championed because it suits his purposes this time around is horrifying. Even worse is the relative silence of the press on this, ( http://mediamatters.org/items/200803210006?f=h_latest) given the rank hypocrisy of violations of McCain's "signature" issue and all. Does it get to be your signature issue if you are blatantly violating it in an in-your-face maneuver after being warned not to by the head of the FEC? I think not.

If the press isn't going to ask the necessary questions, then we have to do it ourselves. You can join in, too -- sign your name to the complaint here. ( http://action.firedoglake.com/page/petition/mccainfec ) At that link, you'll find a copy of the FEC filing and a list of signatories thus far. And help us get the word out on the need for McCain to be held accountable for any violations of the law that has his own name on it....and any other laws of which he may be in violation.

For shame...
For shame indeed.

Sign the complaint here.

The MSM has been really really quiet on this one.
So has the Democratic Underground.

Well?

1. K&R. I'll brought it up here. Does McCain believe in the rule of law?

Answer: No, he's violating laws he helped write.

And for the freepers and end-of-the-worlders around here: Violating the law is a criminal action. This needs to be brought up in debates and announced daily.
