Join the Campaign!
Join our campaign to hold Karl Rove, Tom Donohue and their friends accountable for corrupting the 2010 election with tens of millions in secret money in violation of federal law. You can help! Sign the letter to the Department of Justice. Sign the petition to Congress. Write a letter to your local US Attorney demanding prosecution. When 5,000 people sign on, we will write and call each of the local US Attorneys too and tell them that thousands of citizens want these violators held accountable now. Let’s stop the abuses of the Citizens United decision by prosecuting the worst violators so 2012 will not be a repeat. We can do it! Tom Delay was prosecuted by a state district prosecutor, and Christine O’Donnell and John Edwards are being investigated by local U.S. Attorneys, all for campaign finance violations. Now it's time for federal prosecutors around the country to empanel grand juries and subpoena documents and witnesses to expose the worst violators of campaign finance laws.

Michele Bachmann won't pay campaign staff, so campaign staff spills the dirt
-Blogged by Kaili Joy Gray on Daily Kos
January 15, 2013- Today in why you shouldn't treat your staff badly, then refuse to pay them when they refuse to retroactively agree to aid and abet your potentially criminal activities, we have this juicy little nugget from Andrew Kaczynski at Buzzfeed:
Michelle [sic] Bachmann's high-profile debate coach, Brett O'Donnell, developed an "unnatural" and "Rasputin-like" relationship with his candidate during her failed 2012 presidential campaign, another former aide told BuzzFeed, a charge O'Donnell denies.
