Back on Sept. 19th, I heard Hannity on his radio show openly call for donations to Jeanine Pirro, the Republican candidate who is running against Hillary Clinton in NYS. Deborah of FOX NewsHounds also caught it and made a blog entry.
I sent an e-mail to the FEC the next day and I finally got a response:
Dear Mr. J: This is in response to your recent email to the Federal Election Commission (FEC). As you may know, federal law and Commission regulations prohibit a corporation from making any contribution or expenditure in connection with a federal election (see the Federal Election Campaign Act, or "the Act"- 2 U.S.C. 441b(a). This prohibition includes facilitating the making of a contribution or expenditure through the use of corporate resources or facilities (see Commission regulations at 11 CFR 114.2(f)(1). It would seem possible that using the corporate resources of a commercial radio station to urge that contributions be made to a federal candidate could be considered "facilitating." If you have specific knowledge or information that gives you reason to believe a violation of the Act has occurred, you may wish to file a formal complaint with the Commission.
For more information about this process, please consult our brochure entitled "Filing a Complaint," located on our web site at http://www.fec.gov/pages/brochures/complain.shtml Hopefully you will find this information helpful. If you have any additional questions or have trouble accessing the information on our web site, please feel free to contact the Information Division at 800-424-9530.
I looked at the brochure and I think we can go after Hannity, ABC Radio and the local stations.
More later.

Hey Steve, I want to trade links with your blog.
I am more bitter and sarcastic, but we agree on all things political.
I'm at drroa.blogspot.com, just drop an email and let me know what you think.
I see no harm in filing a formal complaint then. Had Dan Rather ever solicited funds for a Democrat, he would have been forced off of TV and all we would be reading about in the MSM would be about the great "liberal bias" in the news. Not suprisingly the only way I learned about this possible FEC violation was through your blog site and not through the so-called "liberal media."
Fantastic! I'll be linking to your post in a few places. I think more attention should come to this matter. Keep up the good work!
What is holding you back from filing. Need money, support, stamps?
Ummm didnt hannity also tell Kathy Harris of florida he will support here and back her and so should others. Remember when she was acting like a hoe?

Well, I have two cats and that means smallish to medium size objects can suddenly change momentum.
One of those objects happens to have been my printer so I'm off to Kinko's today to print out my complaint.
