RNC Files Supplement to FEC Complaint Against Obama Campaign

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Republican National
Committee (RNC) today filed a supplement to its complaint with the Federal
Election Commission (FEC) against the Obama for America campaign addressing
its acceptance of foreign national and excessive contributions, donations from
unknown sources, and demonstrated lack of oversight or concern for compliance
with the law. The complaint demonstrates that the Obama campaign has failed to
comply with federal campaign finance law in its fundraising. RNC Chief Counsel
Sean Cairncross released the following statement today concerning the
supplement to the complaint:

"Based on numerous press accounts that have come to light since our initial
filing in early October, it is clear that the Obama for America campaign is
operating outside of the law. The complete and total lack of any control
mechanisms within the Obama campaign's fundraising operation has undermined
any confidence in their ability to curtail excessive, foreign, and fraudulent
contributions and demands immediate attention from the Federal Election
Commission (FEC)."

Paid for by the Republican National Committee.
Not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee.
