Campaign finance experts say Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi may have violated federal law by appearing in a television commercial advocating a response to global warming. Cybercast News reports the ad ran nationwide between mid-April and May 6.
The spot was planned and paid for by Al Gore’s Alliance for Climate Protection. It may be a violation of the McCain-Feingold law that Pelosi enthusiastically supported. The law forbids candidates from appearing in ads run by an independent group — and mentioning the candidate’s name — within 90 days of an election. Pelosi is on the ballot in the June 3 California primary — less than a month after the last ad ran.
Pelosi’s office denied coordinating the ad with Gore’s group — another possible violation. The conservative group Judicial Watch will file a complaint to the Federal Election Commission.
We have to keep our eyes and ears open to further development!!
