Note:
*This super PAC was originally called Carly for
America, providing ample opportunity for confusion with the official
campaign committee Carly for President. On June 16, 2015, after
receiving a letter of reprimand from the Federal Election Commission,
the super PAC filed to change the name to Conservative, Authentic,
Responsive Leadership for You and for America (CARLY for America).
The name of a nonconnected
committee
(including a leadership PAC) may not include the name of any candidate
for federal office. (Only a candidate’s authorized committees may
register with his or her name.)
Further, a nonconnected committee may not use a candidate’s name in any
name under which the committee makes solicitations or other
communications to the general public, unless the name clearly shows
opposition to the candidate.
See the bottom of page 14
of the FEC’s Campaign Guide for Nonconnected Committees for more
information: http://www.fec.gov/pdf/nongui.
52 USC § 30102. Organization of political committees
(e) Principal and additional campaign committees; designations, status
of candidate, authorized committees, etc
(4) The name of each authorized committee shall include the name of the
candidate who authorized such committee under paragraph (1). In the
case
of any political committee which is not an authorized committee, such
political committee shall not include the name of any candidate in its
name.
