McCain Campaign Falsely Claims Obama Allows Washington Lobbyists to Raise Money

McCain Campaign: "In Senator Obama's world, lobbyists can raise money..." [McCain release, 5/21/08]

FACT: Obama's Campaign Does Not Allow Lobbyists To Bundle Donations. "Among some of the leading Democratic and Republican candidates, the plans for disclosure are still unformed even as the bundlers are being recruited. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) will provide that information on his campaign Web site; he's also not taking checks, or bundles, from lobbyists." [Washington Post, 2/5/07]
