Lieberman using a slush fund to fund his campaign? Lamont says yes

Just got this email from the Lamont campaign:


Imagine what a campaign could do with $387,000 in cold, hard, unaccounted for cash.

Joe Lieberman called it "petty cash."

There's nothing petty about one out of every twelve dollars spent by a campaign coming from a slush fund filled by those profiting from war, high gas prices and expensive medicine.

Regrettably, that's what Joe Lieberman did.

Our campaign is filing a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) this afternoon asking them to look into potential illegal activity. Will you add your name to the letter?

Campaign finance law dictates "A political committee may maintain a petty cash fund out of which it may make expenditures not in excess of $100 to any person per purchase or transaction."

The law exists because politicians handing out $387,000 in cash days before an election opens the door to all types of unethical possibilities.

Will you sign your name to the FEC complaint?

Three hundred and eighty-seven thousand dollars ... cash.

What could you buy with that much money? Who could you buy with that much money ... especially if no one ever had to know?

The people of Connecticut deserve to know.

Sign the letter.

It's time for change,

Campaign Manager, Ned Lamont for U.S. Senate

Far, far, far away from Washington D.C.

:kick:

been that way forever.

Every penny has been accounted for in Lieberman's FEC filings. The money was used to pay people (many of them students) to go out and canvass for Lieberman. This is not some sort of evil "slush fund."

More politics as usual...:puke:

Again FEC regs - even if they are for students and other authorized activities, they must be itemized.

What's so unbelievable about that?

:sarcasm:

How true. Beer money for some college age canvasers, no doubt! ;)
