- A retired attorney in Virginia Beach is so incensed that Republicans couldn't repeal the Affordable Care Act he's suing to get political donations back, accusing the GOP of fraud and racketeering.
.
Bob Heghmann, 70, filed a lawsuit Thursday in U.S. District Court saying the national and Virginia Republican parties and some GOP leaders raised millions of dollars in campaign funds while knowing they weren't going to be able to overturn the ACA, also known as Obamacare.
.
The GOP "has been engaged in a pattern of Racketeering which involves massive fraud perpetrated on Republican voters and contributors as well as some Independents and Democrats," the suit said. Racketeering, perhaps better known for use in prosecuting organized crime, involves a pattern of illegal behavior by a specific group.
.
The lawsuit lists as defendants the Republican National Committee and Virginia's two national GOP committee members, Morton Blackwell and Cynthia Dunbar, as well as the Republican Party of Virginia and state party Chairman John Whitbeck.
This is really interesting and truth be told he definitely has a case. They're coming out and accepting monies on very specific platform ideas and principles and when it comes time to make good on their promises, they don't deliver and vote the opposite way. If this goes somewhere, which it probably won't unfortunately, people could start holding these lying politicians feet to the fire and make them keep their word. Good article Everitt!

What a concept. Sue when the party you vote for doesn't keep their promises. This is a missing piece in most democracies. It would be great if he won. Especially for the president.
