    NEBRASKA REPUBLICAN PARTY Mark Fahleson, Chairman 251/0^-7 W|3:,g VIA ELECTRONIC MAIL October 4,2011 Mr. Anthony Herman, Esq. General Counsel Federal Election Commission 999 E Street, NW Washington, D.C. 20463 COMPLAINT BEFORE THE FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION Dear Mr. Herman: The Nebraska Republican Party files this complaint seeking an inunediate investigation into the Nebraska Democratic State Central Conunittee's C*NDSCC") and Senator Ben Nelson's illegal spending practices. Their conununications and public records show, and an investigation will confirm that the NDSCC and Senator Nelson have engaged in a massive spending spree in an attempt to prop up and resuscitate Senator Nelson's re-election campaign. NDSCC has made, and Senator Nelson has accepted, expenditures to benefit Senator Nelson's re-election campaign in violation ofthe Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended (tiie "Act"), 2 U.S.C. §§ 431 etseq. and Federal Election Conunission ("FEC") regulations, 11 C.F.R. §§ 100.1 etseq. FACTS Nebraska's two term Democratic Senator's re-election campaign is in desperate shape. The Senator's long history of being out of step with Nebraska - culminating in the infiunous "Comhusker Kickback," the deal with which the Obama Administration effectively bought Senator Nelson's 60^ vote for Obamacare - has chiseled his re-election number in the 30% range. The Democrats' hold on a Senate majority is also in desperate shape. The party is defending 23 seats in a year when the American, public is angry with Congress and frustrated with President Obama's failed economic policies. Nebraska is a "must win" state for the Democratic Party in 2012.
