Miller files complaint against Native PAC
Source: Anchorage Daily News

WASHINGTON -- Calling Sen. Lisa Murkowski "bought and paid for" by a political committee made up of Alaska Native corporations, Republican Senate candidate Joe Miller on Wednesday filed a complaint with the Federal Election Committee.

Miller on Wednesday accused nine of the Native regional corporations that make up Alaskans Standing Together and two of its officers of violating federal laws that bar federal contractors from contributing to any political party, committee or candidate for federal office.

The committee, which is independent from Murkowski but supports her write-in bid, has pumped $1 million so far into Murkowski's race. It's proving to be one of the first tests of new campaign finance rules in the wake of the Citizens United U.S. Supreme Court decision, which allows unlimited donations from corporations and unions to certain types of political committees.

Alaskans Standing Together said Wednesday that it was "more confident than ever" it had followed the law, and called the complaint "a desperate move" on Miller's part "to salvage an imploding campaign."
