Republicans to file complaint against Obama
GOP alleges the Democratic candidate accepted illegal contributions


WASHINGTON - The Republican National Committee plans to file a fundraising complaint against Democrat Barack Obama's presidential campaign Monday, alleging it has accepted donations that exceed federal limits as well as illegal contributions from foreigners.

RNC officials acknowledged Sunday that they do not have a list of foreign donors to Obama's campaign. Instead, the complaint is based largely on media reports, including one from a conservative Web site.

The complaint asks the Federal Elections Commission to audit Obama's campaign fund, RNC chief counsel Sean Cairncross said in a conference call with reporters.

Cairncross said little is known about many of Obama's donors because the campaign is not required to disclose detailed information about people who give less than $200.


The Obama campaign, which is not accepting public funds, has raised more than $468 million. About half has come from small donors, a point of pride for the Obama campaign.

The Obama campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Ok so you're asking for an investigation based on allegations made by a conservative website (read: blog)
The allegation is that he's accepted contributions that exceed federal limits, but you don't have a list because he's not required to provide information on donors who give less than $200?

I guess they're hoping that getting the words "Obama" and "Investigation" in the same news story will help them?
