Meanwhile, Ed Gillespie, chairman of the Republican National Convention, denounced the "Democrat Party manual showing illegal coordination between the Kerry Campaign, the Florida Democrat Party and Democrat 527 shadow groups."

The Associated Press reported today: "At issue is a lengthy handbook for Democratic volunteers and others working to persuade and turn out voters in the battleground state.

"The document proposes that representatives of organized labor, trial lawyers and teachers join Democrats at a campaign "decision-making table," a plan that Republicans contend is illegal under the 2002 campaign finance law."

Gillespie stated:

"Most people would be shocked to learn that the Florida Democrat Party has spent almost no dollars on federal election activity in the important battleground state of Florida.

"The Florida Democrat Party isn't spending federal dollars on election activity in Florida because they've outsourced their entire get out the vote effort to shadowy Democrat soft money groups that are spending millions of dollars to elect John Kerry.

"The Democrat Party must have saved millions of dollars this election cycle with similar illegal arrangements with soft money groups in other states.

"Once upon a time, John Kerry was for campaign finance reform. Now we know he is for it in theory, but not in practice."

The scheme reveals "illegal coordination resulting in excessive and prohibited contributions," said Jill Holtzman Vogel, chief counsel for the Republican National Committee.

AP reported, "Republicans said they would file a complaint with the Federal Election Commission but did not expect any action before the Nov. 2 election."
