26,000 Cosigners to FEC Complaint Against McCain…And Counting

[napi21]

We've had over 26,000 people cosign the complaint to the FEC against John McCain for campaign finance law violation (Christy has the background here). We're going to be delivering the signatures on Monday to the FEC with the help of Joe Sudbay of AmericaBlog and Reverend Lennox Yearwood, and we'd love to get to 30,000.

This is what Mr. Straight Talk said on the floor of the Senate in 2003 (h/t bemar):

The purpose of the presidential public financing system is to allow candidates to run competitive races for the presidency without becoming dependent on or obligated to campaign donors. That purpose is undermined when a candidate opts out of the system to raise and spend large amounts of private money for a primary or general election race. Such candidates should not be able to reject public financing and then get the system’s benefits when it suits their tactical advantage. A candidate should have to opt in or out of the system for the whole election.

Does 26,000 sound like a lot of signatures to you? Would it help if we ALL sent a letter to the FEC?
