Draft Kennedy draft movement gets FEC boost
The FEC ruled in a 6 0 advisory decision that Florida for Kennedy and similar draft groups face no strict federal fundraising limits since Kennedy is not an official candidate. Contributors may donate up to 25 000 to such groups, with no statewide spending cap. Kennedy has said he has no plans to run and will back President Carter.
