Geee Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Fox News: President Barack Obama's re-election campaign filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission on Tuesday demanding that Crossroads GPS, the well-funded Republican advocacy organization, disclose its donors. It is the latest attempt by Obama's team to slow the rise of GOP outside groups that are poised to spend a lot more than their Democratic counterparts in the 2012 elections. Such groups could eliminate Obama's fundraising advantage for his own war chest. Crossroads is organized under a section of the tax code that allows it to keep its funding sources private. But since the group is spending millions on campaign ads attacking Democrats, it should disclose its donors as traditional campaign committees are required to do, Robert Bauer, the top lawyer for the Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee, argued in the complaint. "There has never been any doubt about its true purpose: to elect candidates of its choice to the presidency and Congress," Bauer wrote. "Crossroads has tried to shield its donors -- wealthy individuals, and corporations who may be pursuing special interest agendas that are not in the national interest."
