Stimulating Refunds

This is awesome.

Senator Specter said that he will not be "voluntarily" returning the five thousand donations made to him when he was a Republican.

So the Club for Growth will be helping out those thousands.

In an advisory opinion request to the Federal Election Commission made public by the agency today, Club for Growth asked for approval for its PAC to mail individual donors of Citizens for Arlen Specter with information on how to request a refund, including a preprinted form letter and envelope addressed to the Senator’s campaign. The FEC is required to reach a decision within 60 days, and the mailing would follow soon after.

"Senator Specter agreed to return the contributions he received before switching parties, and we want to help him make good on that commitment,” Club President Chris Chocola said. “It’s easy to request a refund with a preprinted letter and envelope, and I expect a lot of people will want their money back.”
