FEC Fines Anti-Kerry 527 Group



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The Federal Election Commission levied one of its largest fines ever yesterday against the Progress for America Voter Fund, a conservative group that raised $44 million to help undermine Democrat John Kerry's 2004 presidential bid.

The fine was the latest in a series of FEC penalties imposed on high-profile independent groups that operated on both sides of the 2004 presidential elections. The FEC is trying to send a message to the "527" organizations, FEC Chairman Robert Lenhard said in a statement.

"It should now be clear to organizations that want to be active in the 2008 cycle that the activities we saw in this case are prohibited under the law," Lenhard said.

1.  The link points to an Al Gore/warming story.
Am I doing something wrong?
