The Campaign Legal Center and Democracy 21 filed a complaint today with the Federal Election Commission against Rick Santorum and his campaign staff who are prohibited from directing more than $5,000 to a Super PAC. The complaint states William “Bill” J. Dore Sr., the CEO of Dore Energy (La.) sent a $1 million check to the Red, White and Blue Fund super PAC after being directed there by the campaign.
