U.S. Judge Strikes Down Commission's Campaign Finance Rules

According to this report from Bloomberg a judge has ordered - at the 11th hour - a rewrite by the Federal Elections Commission of 15 rules, including regulations exempting Internet ads from the 2002 campaign finance law. The law bars outside groups from coordinating television and radio advertisements with candidates.

Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly was a Clinton appointee in 1997.

This will probably be stayed until after the election when the FEC appeals, but it is just another example of why we cannot allow Kerry to be elected.
