Dem groups ask FEC to rule on Super PACs
POLITICO.com:
"'We're pretty sure that is not legal,' Lapp told POLITICO about the proposal to allow members of Congress and other officeholders to get involved in PAC fundraising -- but if the committee rules it legal, she said Democratic groups will also follow suit to ensure a fair playing field.
UPDATE: Fred Wertheimer, whose Democracy 21 advocacy group protested about the practice, raised similar concerns about the Democratic proposal.
“This would blatantly violate the law,” he told POLITICO, expressing concern that the six-member FEC, which has become increasingly prone to deadlock, would not block the practice."
