FEC Fines Anti-Kerry 527 Group



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The Federal Election Commission levied one of its largest fines ever yesterday against the Progress for America Voter Fund, a conservative group that raised $44 million to help undermine Democrat John Kerry's 2004 presidential bid.

The fine was the latest in a series of FEC penalties imposed on high-profile independent groups that operated on both sides of the 2004 presidential elections. The FEC is trying to send a message to the "527" organizations, FEC Chairman Robert Lenhard said in a statement.

"It should now be clear to organizations that want to be active in the 2008 cycle that the activities we saw in this case are prohibited under the law," Lenhard said.
