Campaign Legal Center Files Complaint Against Romney Super PAC Ad

The Campaign Legal Center has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission charging that the Mitt Romney-backing Restore Our Future Super PAC has violated campaign laws.

The group says that the Super PAC's purchase of TV time to re-air an ad produced by the Romney campaign in 2007 is an in-kind contribution and thus illegal. It is basing that on a report in Politico on the PAC's purchase of time to air an ad in Michigan and Arizona in advance of primaries there Feb 28 that appeared identical to one aired by the Romney campaign during his 2008 presidential run. The center said it independently confirmed the ads were the same.
