Bush Campaign Targets Kerry's Soft Money
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Filed at 8:39 a.m. ET

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush's re-election campaign asked supporters Monday to urge federal officials to crack down on groups spending millions of dollars to promote Democrat John Kerry, its second such move in a week.

Campaign chairman Marc Racicot asked recipients in an e-mail to press the Federal Election Commission to approve proposed restrictions on the groups, which are spending ``soft money'' -- corporate, union and unlimited donations -- on ads and get-out-the-vote efforts aimed at helping Kerry win the election.

``To make sure that everyone plays by the same rules we need you to tell the commissioners they should force these groups to comply with federal law,'' Racicot wrote. Supporters could forward an e-mail drafted by the campaign or write their own comments to the FEC.

2. Since we "need to play by the same rules", how
about asking for Air Force One and tax payer money for Kerry's campaign stops!

4. Selective rule use.
It's getting so tired- this citing rules only when it suits them.

bu$h attends $2000-a-plate fundraisers on the taxpayer's dime and the "liberal" media look the other way.
