October 8, 2008 RECEIVED FEDERAL ELECTION Thomasenia Duncan, Esquire COMMISSION General Counsel OFFICE OF GENERAL Federal Election Commission COUNSEL mMITR4 999 E Street, NW TOOBOCT 15 A»U5 Washington, DC 20463 Re: Complaint Against Roy Carter for Congress Committee for exceeding contribution limits. Dear Ms. Duncan: Pursuant to 2 USC § 437g(aXl) and 11 CFR § 111.4, please accept this letter as a Complaint against Roy Carter CD for Congress Committee ("Carter Campaign"). Roy Carter is a candidate for Congress in the 5 District of in North Carolina. H in The facts in this matter indicate that the Carter Campaign accepted contributions from Joseph T-Bone" Burnett in violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended (the "Act"), and Federal Election «gr Commission ("FEC" or "Commission*1). o The Carter Campaign held a fundraiser in Asheville on June 14,2008 with Joseph "T-Bone" Burnett where Mr. Burnett provided ten limited edition packages for a conceit with Alison Krauss, Robert Plant, and T Bone Burnett See Exhibit A. According to Stacey Carter, Mr. Burnett also provided Roy Carter with an autographed guitar to auction off to benefit his campaign. See Exhibit B. However, the Carter Campaign does not list a single transaction in conjunction with the contribution of tickets or a signed guitar on the July Quarterly Report filed with the FEC. See Exhibit C. The Carter Campaign accepted contributions from Joseph 'T-Bone" Burnett in excess of legal limits and blatantly disregarded the law with regard to contributions and reporting requirements of the FEC. Mr. Burnett's contributions of the tickets and autographed guitar exceeds legal contribution limits for the General Election on November 4,2008. Accordingly, we respectfully request that the Commission must conduct an immediate investigation into the violations outlined above and impose the maximum penalty under law. The foregoing is correct and accurate to the best of my knowledge, information and belief. Respectfully submitted, ^Swor^n to and subscribed of October, 2008.
