 <title>Read the &quot;confidential memo&quot; from the Minnesota Republican Party that is the basis of CREW&#039;s FEC complaint</title>

 <description>&lt;p&gt;CREW filed a &lt;a href=&quot;/node/29440&quot;&gt;Federal Election Commission (FEC) complaint&lt;/a&gt; today against the Republican Party of Minnesota and its former treasurer, Marina Taubenberger, alleging multiple egregious violations of the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA) and FEC regulations.  The complaint is &lt;a href=&quot;/node/29446&quot;&gt;based primarily upon a February 15, 2007 &lt;/a&gt;confidential memorandum from former Republican Party of Minnesota finance director Dwight Tostenson to the Party&amp;#39;s Executive Committee.
