‘Jews for Cruz’ PAC ordered to change name

Ted Cruz would have to authorize the PAC for it to use its name, the FEC ruled.
Jews for Cruz can be for just about anything but Cruz, the Federal Election Commission said, according to Time Magazine.
The Jews for Cruz PAC backs Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and his presidential bid, but Cruz has not authorized them to do so. Thus they must change their name, the FEC informed the PAC in a letter Monday.
FEC rules (see page four, here) say a political action committee must have a formal affiliation with a candidate in order to include the candidates name in its name.
Apparently the group has a penchant for rhymes. Time says its Twitter profile read: Help us fight the Islamic and liberal assault on America and Israel. In your heart, you know were right. And in your guts, you know theyre nuts.
That phrase no longer appears on the @JewsforCruz nor the @JewsforCruzPac profiles.
But I like Guts and Nuts as the PACs name.

They should change their name to:
Jews for Conservative Republican United Zest
of
Jews for C.R.U.Z.
Stick it to the unconstitutional FEC!

Confused...is it the FEC forcing the change, or the Cruz Campaign. If the latter, it is pretty dumb.

So does the FEC have a general Assumption Dept. that though, "hey they are Journalists of course they already take their marching orders from the Democrats..... Pass the Rubber Stamp I'll get this paperwork processed..."

So Obama can say N**** but, if you're Jewish you can't call yourself a Jew?
We are at the Mad Hatter's Tea Party for sure!
