So I just got an email from the Obama campaign. Get this:

"American Leadership Project" will take unlimited contributions from individuals and is organized the same way as the infamous Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.

ABC News reports that this group is seeking 100 Clinton supporters to each give $100,000 to fund its $10 million effort to promote Senator Clinton and "contrast" her positions with Barack Obama's."

Isn't this shit illegal? And if it's not, it should be! Talk about special interest and politics as usual. You know, up until now I would have been happy with either Senator as the Dem. nominee in the fall (though my preference is Obama). NOT ANYMORE!!

Now, I have not seen or heard this story on any major media outlets. Why the silence? Where is the outrage?? Hell, what does John McCain have to say about THIS for campaign finance reform? I am one person. I don't know how to spread the word around, but the GFY grapevine is always a good place to start.

This type of underhanded, quid-pro-quo political maneuvering must stop! If you care about the future of this country, get mad and do something! Tell someone! I'm off to bully CNN.
