I got a sneaky flier in the mail supporting Potts & paid for by Kilgore

Did anyone else get one? On the front it says "2005 Official Democrat and Progressive Voter Guide - Governor of Virginia" with the big red and blue kicking donkey symbol that the Democratic Party uses. Inside it compares Potts and Kaine's view on reproductive rights, gun laws, same-sex marriage rights, etc. and according to them Potts is much more progressive. It ends with "Tim Kaine has turned his back on the issues you believe in. Call him and tell him just how disappointed you are. Russ Potts is the only candidate who will stand up for progressive principles."

It seemed suspicious to me that the Democratic Party would be sending out something to lead people away from Tim Kaine in the last few days before election day, so I looked closely and saw in tiny letters beside one of the pictures it said "Paid for and authorized by Virginians for Jerry Kilgore". I think that's awful and I hope it doesn't fool anyone into throwing away their vote on Russ 4% Potts.

Can they legally use that kicking donkey symbol?
