Joe gets dirty again

Imagine what a campaign could do with $387,000 in cold, hard, unaccounted for cash. Joe Lieberman called it "petty cash." There's nothing petty about one out of every twelve dollars spent by a campaign coming from a slush fund filled by those profiting from war, high gas prices and expensive medicine. Regrettably, that's what Joe Lieberman did. Our campaign is filing a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) this afternoon asking them to look into potential illegal activity. Will you add your name to the letter?http://www.nedlamont.com/fecletter

Campaign finance law dictates "A political committee may maintain a petty cash fund out of which it may make expenditures not in excess of $100 to any person per purchase or transaction." The law exists because politicians handing out $387,000 in cash days before an election opens the door to all types of unethical possibilities. Will you sign your name to the FEC complaint? http://www.nedlamont.com/fecletter

Three hundred and eighty-seven thousand dollars ... cash. What could you buy with that much money? Who could you buy with that much money ... especially if no one ever had to know? The people of Connecticut deserve to know.
