John McCain is Breaking the Law

Anywho, he is at least renigging on his promise.

From Howard Dean and the DNC:
John McCain decided to break a promise he made to the American people -- he said that he would accept federal matching funds for his primary campaign, but then backed out of the pledge after he started receiving staggering amounts of lobbyist and special interest money. We asked the FEC to enforce the agreement he had made.When they didn't act on our complaint -- one that thousands of Americans signed on to support -- we sued them. Recently, a federal judge said that we had to give the FEC at least 120 days to act.Their time runs out in one week, on June 24. You can put pressure on John McCain to honor his agreement with the FEC by signing your support -- we need 100,000 Americans to stand up and demand that he keep the promise that he made the American people. If we're ever going to have truly clean campaigns, it's going to take all of us fighting for them.

To me, this isn't about the law or breaking a promise to the American people or even about raising money -- it's the implications associated with raising money from lobbyists -- someone who works in Washington isn't going give you thousands and thousands of dollars and not expect anything for it.

Sign the petition -- not to stick it to McCain or even to hold him accountable -- do it to do your part to keep lobbyists out of our government.
