A new 527 Group called The Real Truth About Obama, Inc. ("RTAO"), has filed a lawsuit in federal court against the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and the Department of Justice to prevent them from enforcing FEC reporting rules for political committees. RTAO plans to run issue ads examining the Democratic presidential candidate's position on abortion and other policy positions issues. The Group's lead attorney, Jim Bopp Jr., won the Wisconsin Right to Life (WRTL) case last year against the FEC. Bopp argues that this 527 should not have to disclose their activities with the FEC, including independent expenditures and electioneering communications. The Group registered with the FEC on July 29. According to a press release from the James Madison Center for Free Speech; "Its first project is about Obama's radical pro-abortion views and voting record. However, RTAO fears that it will be deemed a federal PAC, if it does the project, because of the FEC's enforcement actions arising out of the 2004 election where various issue-Advocacy 527s, such as the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, were fined for failure to register as a federal PAC, even though they only engaged in issue Advocacy." RTAO's abortion information project includes a website, www.TheRealTruthAboutObama.com, and a radio ad called Change. The website is not operational due to the FEC's enforcement policies that prevent RTAO from raising money for the project. The lawsuit challenge ...
