Gun-Control Group, PAC Pay $12K FEC Fine
Yahoo News / AP story ^ | May 5, 2005 | unstated

A gun-control group and its political action committee have paid a $12,000 fine to settle a campaign finance case from the 2000 election.

At issue were ads and endorsements by the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and its Brady Voter Education Fund involving various Democratic candidates in 2000.

The American Conservative Union, in a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, accused the Brady organizations of making illegal corporate contributions to the Democrats' campaigns.

The FEC disclosed the outcome of the case Thursday.

=====

The Brady Campaign is named after Jim Brady and his wife Sarah. Jim Brady, press secretary to President Reagan, was shot during a 1981 assassination attempt on Reagan. The Bradys later became gun-control activists.

>>12,000 may be chump change to these thugs, but I bet the lawyers bills were at least 10 times that amount. <<

hehe... exxxxcellent point. That's the tactic of the ACLU, keep suing until you force the other guy to go broke.

Okay okay, windchimes free too. :)

Geeze..

Here's your tagline:

Roses are red, so are the 'rats
Roses smell good, 'rats don't.

or...........

Roses are red, pansies are sometimes pink
Pub's need a spine, and Ted needs a drink.

or............

Roses are red, voters are blue
We thought DC listened, but just not to you.


See, this is why I have a cut rate on taglines. ;)
