Republican Party Files Federal Election Commission Complaint Against Obama Campaign

The Republican National Committee (RNC) has today filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) against the ‘Obama for America campaign’ addressing what the RNC says is its acceptance of foreign national and excessive contributions.

The complaint claims that the Obama campaign has failed to comply with federal campaign finance law in its fundraising. RNC Chief Counsel Sean Cairncross released the following statement today concerning the complaint:

“We believe Obama for America has knowingly accepted excessive contributions and donations from foreign nationals, and has failed to take the necessary remedial action required by law. We see this as a wide-scale problem and it appears the Obama campaign may be in substantial noncompliance with federal campaign finance laws. Barack Obama broke his word to the American people and refused to accept public financing, and now his campaign appears to be disregarding the rules and laws that govern federal campaigns. Senator Obama routinely mentions the word ‘change’ on the campaign trail, yet it seems the only changes he supports are ones that personally benefit his own political aspirations.”
