ROMNEY VIOLATING FEC RULES: FRAUDULENT CALLS IN COLORADO

http://www.politico.com/blogs/jonathanmartin/0208/Huck_who_.html

Huckabee supporter Susan Brooks of Colorado Springs, CO, sends over a robocall she got last night from Mitt that wipes Huck out of the picture:

Hello, This is Governor Mitt Romney. The race for the Republican nomination for president is now a two person race. Our party, I believe, is at a critical crossroads, and the future of conservatism is very much at stake. I believe the choice before us is quite clear: Do we support the liberal policies of the Washington D.C. crowd, or do we want to fight for the conservative principles that have defined our party for more than a century? I believe that our policies have to remain rooted in conservative thought. Together, you and I can begin to change Washington. That's why I need your vote on Tuesday.

And my call today is being paid for by Romney for President, Inc., 857-XXX-XXXX
