Bachmann campaign mailing of EdWatch letter illegal?

[Minnesota Raindog]

Michele Bachmann, the 6th CD GOP candidate and self-described "tax litigation attorney," may have a little trouble with the IRS and the Federal Election Commission herself over a recent campaign money solicitation letter she sent from EdWatch, a right-wing tax-exempt nonprofit with which Bachmann has close ties. The mailing appears to put the Bachmann campaign and/or EdWatch in violation of several federal campaign and tax laws. Complaints already have been filed with the FEC and IRS over the matter, and anyone else who received the mailing should consider filing one as well.
