Another Piece Falls Into Place

I have said this over and over, but Robert Novak, for all his evils, consistently writes interesting columns. Read this:

In August, the American Family Business Institute sent letters to all of McCain's supporters recorded as giving him $1,000 or more, requesting their help in changing his vote to support repeal. [link]

Is that legal? When I run for Senate, can I send fundraising letters to everyone who sent $1000 or more to Senate candidates outside their home states on at least three occasions? That would make sense, right?

Also, if you want an example of something you don't want to happen to you as a politician, read this. "Just what was the councilor paying for? And why?"

Terry, of course that is legal. All of that information is for public consumption via Sen. McCain's FEC filings. We went digging for dirt during the primaries; these groups are doing similar data-mining for their own purposes. And frankly, your thought to hit up 1k out-of-state donors is brilliant.
