Help stop Coleman's unending lawsuits from bankrupting Al Franken
Please K&R. Coleman’s newest dirty tactics appear to be:
Win by bankrupting your opponent.
Where is Coleman getting his money for lawsuits? See below:
http://www.dfl.org/index.asp?Type=B_BASIC&SEC=%7BBB64F6EA-94CE-43DA-93B9-B26FF9EFFE0B%7D&DE=%7B4A67CF13-A24C-4566-A1AE-C282DC02E0AB%7D
The MN Democratic Party (MN DFL) has filed a complaint with the FEC against Coleman and the Republican National Lawyers Association (RNLA) citing MULTIPLE VIOLATIONS OF HIS RECOUNT FUNDRAISING.
They allege that: (1) the RNLA is funding Coleman’s recount committee with illegal contributions in excess of legal limits; (2) the RNLA is funding Coleman’s recount committee with illegal contributions from corporations; (3) the RNLA has failed to register with the FEC, as its contributions to Coleman’s recount require it to; and (4) Coleman has failed to report any contributions from the RNLA.

You may help by doing one or both of the following:
(1) Write to the Federal Elections Commission and complain:
Federal Election Commission, 999 E Street, NW, Washington, DC 20463
(800) 424-9530 Their website is: http://www.fec.gov/
(2) Contribute to Al Franken’s Recount Funraising to help pay for his attorney fees: https://secure.alfranken.com/page/contribute
Thanks!

23. It might be a good idea to complain to the media instead
I wonder if the FEC is filled with Bush appointees.

and any funds received by the attorneys be turned over.

6. Coleman's vexatious lawsuits should be forced to post a 10M bond
just to cover Franken's bills once it's ordered that Coleman fucking lost, and also ordered to pay Franken's bills for the bullshit.

20. I want to know how Coleman is coming up with the money to stall this thing
He owes like 130% of what his house is worth on his mortgage. He is deeply in debt already.

26. Am I allowed to send Al money?
I'm a Brit. I know I'm not allowed to donate to campaigns but is it legal for me to donate to cover Al's legal expenses? Anyone know?

32. I'm almost sure you can't
But get the word out to any American Expats you know in there in your country. That would help a lot.
