O'Donnell in Trouble Again for Campaign Finance Error

From Colorado Confidential:

The Perlmutter campaign claims that the Bushell Insurance Agency sent out a mailing with a State Farm Insurance logo to policy holders asking them to attend the fundraiser. The company used corporate resources such as staff time and equipment to create the mailing. O’Donnell solicited campaign contributions at the event itself, which drew some 70 people, continues the charges, which the Perlmutter campaign plans use as the basis of a formal complaint with the U.S. Federal Election Commission (FEC).

There are some campaign finance violations that are relatively minor, and others that appear sketchy but are probably just a legal loophole. This is neither. O’Donnell could be in for a spanking from the FEC, because this certainly appears to be a very clear violation of the law.
