Correct the Record is a Hillary Clinton Super Pac:
How a super PAC plans to coordinate directly with Hillary Clintons campaign
By Matea Gold May 12, 2015
Hillary Clintons campaign plans to work in tight conjunction with an independent rapid-response group financed by unlimited donations, another novel form of political outsourcing that has emerged as a dominant practice in the 2016 presidential race.
On Tuesday, Correct the Record, a pro-Clinton rapid-response operation, announced it was splitting off from its parent American Bridge and will work in coordination with the Clinton campaign as a stand-alone super PAC. The groups move was first reported by the New York Times.
~Snip~
But Correct the Record believes it can avoid the coordination ban by relying on a 2006 Federal Election Commission regulation that declared that content posted online for free, such as blogs, is off limits from regulation. The Internet exemption said that such free postings do not constitute campaign expenditures, allowing independent groups to consult with candidates about the content they post on their sites. By adopting the measure, the FEC limited its online jurisdiction to regulating paid political ads.

Rules are for other people, not the Clintons. And they wonder why people view them as corrupt.

in FL, where Hillary received over 70% of the Latino vote.
Now I hope they'd make one about Sierra Blanca!

(9,967 posts)7. It's not a lie or a smear when it is the truth. Come on, it is on TAPE!
He went to a show hosted by anti-immigrant and xenophobe Lou Dobs. If you see the entire interview, Sanders nods in agreement to everything the anti-immigrant xenophobe says.
The lie is how now that he is campaigning for POTUS, he changed his tune claiming he was acting out of concern for immigrants,
when it was just the opposite.
