Bob Heghmann, 70, filed a lawsuit Thursday in U.S. District Court saying the national and Virginia Republican parties and some GOP leaders raised millions of dollars in campaign funds while knowing they weren't going to be able to overturn the ACA, also known as Obamacare.
The GOP "has been engaged in a pattern of Racketeering which involves massive fraud perpetrated on Republican voters and contributors as well as some Independents and Democrats," the suit said. Racketeering, perhaps better known for use in prosecuting organized crime, involves a pattern of illegal behavior by a specific group.
The lawsuit lists as defendants the Republican National Committe and Virginia's two national GOP committee members, Morton Blackwell and Cynthia Dunbar, as well as the Republican Party of Virginia and state party Chairman John Whitbeck.
In an email, Blackwell dismissed Heghmann's complaint as a "frivolous, nuisance suit that should be thrown out of court by any judge."
In a separate email Dunbar sent to Blackwell that was forwarded to The Virginian-Pilot, Dunbar referred to it as "ridiculous."

I will be giving my representative my feedback and it will not be good.

I would recommend calling the office instead of writing, which only generate a pre-written auto reply. A receptionist will answer the phone. Ask to speak with the congressman/senator. When they say he’s not available, ask to speak with the Administrative Aide or Office Manager ONLY and get their name. Otherwise they will pass you off to a summer intern who is supposedly a “legislative aide” or some other young paper pusher in the office. If the OM/AA is “busy” ask to have them call you back. Stress that you are a voter in their district or state. That gets their attention.
“While we’re at it how about we repeal the 17th amendment?”
That would solve a lot of problems.
1. There would be far more Republican Senators in the Senate due to the overwhelming number of state legislatures controlled by Republicans.
2. The Senate would become more Conservative.
3. It would also allow a greater influx of Conservative judges into the judiciary.
A repeal of the 17th Amendment would be great for Conservatives.
This ought to be a class action lawsuit.

Class Action lawsuit..sign me up...
“Put those Senators under the control of the States instead of the lobbyists”
Wouldn’t lobbyists still bribe them even if under states’ control?
I’m in!
That donor has a good idea. I hope the lawsuit will prevent candidates from making campaign promises that they change, almost as soon as they win.
I hope that donor will donate to the campaign of Ron Wallace, a Chesapeake conservative, who announced his U.S. Senate campaign on June 30. I work for his campaign, so I know that he’s pro-life and pro-gun rights. He wants to cut tax rates and spending. He agrees with President Trump about building the wall and deporting more illegal aliens. A week ago, I created his website, www.senatorwallace.com.
