Full title: Republican donor from Virginia Beach sues GOP, accusing the party of fraud over failed Obamacare repeal
quote
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.

Virginia has a process that is similar to a recall, but it is not listed here as a recall state because its process,
while requiring citizen petitions, calls for a recall trial rather than an election.
In Virginia, after sufficient petition signatures are gathered and verified, a circuit court decides whether a Virginia official will be removed from office.
In the recall states, the voters decide through an election.
....John McCain, R-Ariz., CAN BE RECALLED...
I think a higher power will take care of this.
Yes...
Frankly, the donor has a point! There were hopes for the burning of Obama Care.
We were betrayed. The POTUS ran and WON on burning it. He is betrayed and rejected.
No Capitalists Allowed, in the US.
