Categories: Al Sharpton FEC slaps Rev. Al with $285k fine
The wheels of the Federal Elections Commission grind slow, but they do occasionally levy real penalties, as they just did against the Rev. Al Sharpton — for his 2004 presidential bid.
Sharpton, who employed the help of Republican consultant Roger Stone to qualify for public funding for his campaign, violated campaign finance laws widely, and has agreed to pay a $285,000 fine, the FEC said in a press release.
According to the Commission:During his 2004 presidential campaign, Sharpton traveled extensively and routinely mixed travel for his campaign committee and National Action Network. An FEC audit and investigation revealed that National Action Network and other en ies paid $387,192 in campaign expenses. The FEC determined that National Action Network made payments totaling $107,615 for committee expenses and $73,500 in payments to consultants and vendors for campaign-related work, violating the prohibition against corporate contributions. Sharpton’s sole proprietorships, Rev-Als Production and Sharpton Media LLC, also paid $214,577 in campaign travel expenses and an additional $65,000 came from unknown sources. None of these in-kind contributions were disclosed in the committee’s disclosure reports.

Jackson's and Sharpton's slides into irrelevance would probably happen much quicker if people like you weren't so excited to inject not-so-subtle racial jabs like "Sharpton don't play that &%$&#" into your discussions of them. Just a suggestion.
It was a misfired attempt at humor. LockBeard will probably hide behind his fail like a coward.
Or, in a futile effort to escape his honestly gotten rep, he'll change his screen name again.
Amen to that.
