Washington, DC – In the midst of the presidential campaign season, the Federal Election Commission (FEC) has been rendered ineffectual. Today, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) launched a new website, FixtheFEC.org, designed to change that. FixtheFEC.org was created to prompt Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to allow for a vote on federal election commissioners that can get the FEC back to policing federal elections business. Currently, the FEC is unable to perform its function, to administer and enforce campaign finance laws.

The Commission is made up of six members, who are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. The FEC must have a quorum of at least four commissioners to act. Right now, the FEC has only two commissioners; four seats are vacant. .........

1. Typical Bushian"responsibility" tactic, do nothing , hope it dies of neglect and no one notices.

"Then I can't get blamed, Heh, Heh."

Why would he give up on a tactic that has worked for him all his life?
