The Republican Attorney General of Indiana is going to court to stop the Swiftboaters political operation in Indiana:
Attorney General Steve Carter has filed a lawsuit today in Brown County Circuit Court against a group making automated phone calls targeting Democratic congressional candidate Baron Hill.UPDATE to the earlier article (same link):
Carter also is seeking a preliminary injunction against the California-based group, Economic Freedom Fund, which is financed by Bob J. Perry, a Texas homebuilder with close ties to White House adviser Karl Rove. Perry also bankrolled the Swift Boat attack ads against the war record of Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry in 2004.
Attorney General Steve Carter said today that a California-based group has agreed to stop making automated phone calls attacking Democratic congressional candidate Baron Hill.
However, Carter said the state is still seeking a preliminary injunction against the group, the Economic Freedom Fund, and pursuing a lawsuit in Brown County Circuit Court. A hearing on the injunction has been scheduled for Sept. 27 in Nashville.
