 | | Democracy 21, The Campaign Legal Center and the Center for Responsive Politics filed a new complaint today with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), alleging that America Come Together (ACT), a pro-Democratic 527 group, "has engaged, and is continuing to engage, in illegal activities," including "knowing and willful" violations of the campaign finance laws. |
 | | The legal rulings in the ABC advisory opinion affirm that ACT is illegally spending far more soft money than the federal campaign finance laws allow, according to the complaint. |
 | | "The structure and proposed activities of ABC are legally and materially indistinguishable from ACT's structure and activities, and the legal principles set forth in the ABC advisory opinion are directly applicable to ACT," said Lawrence Noble, former FEC general counsel and Executive Director of the Center for Responsive Politics. |
