Experts: Rep. Hunter Could Be Violating Campaign Finance Laws
WMUR New Hampshire ^ | February 27, 2007

MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Some experts said a Republican presidential candidate might be violating campaign finance laws with the TV ads he's running in New Hampshire.

U.S. Rep. Duncan Hunter of California is running ads that feature him walking near the U.S.-Mexico border. Hunter's Peace Through Strength political action committee has paid more than $17,000 for the ads, which call for the border fence to be extended.

The ad asks viewers to visit the political action committee's Web site. The PAC's Web site then asks visitors to visit Hunter's campaign site. Lawyers said the situation could be interpreted as an endorsement and a violation of campaign finance laws. Click here to find out more!

The PAC's spokesman said the ad is an issue ad and is not intended to be an ad for Hunter's presidential bid.

Is he campaigning for himself or for funding for a border fence? Seems perfectly innocent to me.

Join the "Duncan Hunter for 08'" ping list!

The media's beginning to paint a bullseye on Hunter.

They fear him, and rightfully so. May his name become more recognized in their futile attempts to shut him down!

>>>Duncan Hunter is obviously making other candidates (both Democrats and Republicans) VERY NERVOUS

Rep. Hunter Contains Chavez Threat

Excerpt:

...the only member of Congress who seem to recognize the full scope of the crisis in Latin America is Rep. Duncan Hunter, who is now running for president. Rep. Hunter and his congressional allies have drawn brickbats from liberals for advocacy of the construction of massive series of border fences with Mexico. Actually, given the direction of events from Mexico to the south, Rep. Hunter’s policy is right on the mark.

Yeah,,, and that they can interpret the TV ad " could be interpreted as an endorsement and a violation of campaign finance laws " any way they see fit.
The key word here is " interpret " and anyone can interpret it in what they believe.

The media's beginning to paint a bullseye on Hunter.

It's starting early too. They don't want the border to be an issue, their support is only for candidates like Giuliani and McCain whose answer to the problem is to legalize everybody.
