The Federal Election Commission is investigating whether colleges violated a ban on corporate donations to political campaigns by allowing controversial filmmaker Michael Moore to appear on their campuses during the presidential election campaign and paying him a speaker's fee. David Hardy, an Arizona lawyer, filed complaints against a dozen institutions. In the complaint letter, Hardy quotes from Moore's speeches, including one at Wayne State University, where he said, "We're visiting all 20 battleground states, and our goal is to remove George W. Bush from the White House."
