Brady anti-gun group pays $26G FEC fine
QUOTE: Well, I don’t know about Toomey, but they didn’t do a darn bit of good against Ernie Fletcher. On Tuesday, he will become our state’s first GOP governor in 32 years.

WASHINGTON — A gun-control group has agreed to pay a $26,000 fine for failing to properly disclose spending on mailings opposing two Republican House candidates, the Federal Election Commission said Thursday.
The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence Voter Education Fund didn’t report $111,777 in spending to oppose Kentucky Rep. Ernest Fletcher’s election, nor did it report $99,731 in spending against Pennsylvania Rep. Pat Toomey, according to the FEC.
The mailings were sent to voters shortly before the 2000 election. The spending was supposed to be reported by the Brady group’s Voter Education Fund to the commission within 24 hours.
The group paid the civil fine last month.
The Brady Campaign is named after Jim Brady, former press secretary to President Reagan. Brady was seriously wounded during a 1981 attempt on Reagan’s life.
