3rd Parties File FEC Complaint over Presidential Debates
Several third party presidential candidates have filed an FEC complaint alleging that the Commission on Presidential Debates should not be allowed to take corporate contributions for its 2004 debates and should return millions in contributions it has made to the major parties in 2000 (in the form of the debate events).
The complaint was filed by the 2000 candidates of the Greens, the Natural Law Party, the Constitution Party, and the Reform Party. The National Voting Rights Institute and a Boston firm are representing the complainants, according to a press release from NVRI.
The complaint and some of the exhibits are also on the NVRI site.
