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 Committe 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.
In an email, Blackwell dismissed Heghmann's complaint as a "frivolous, nuisance suit that should be thrown out of court by any judge."
In a separate email Dunbar sent to Blackwell that was forwarded to The Virginian-Pilot, Dunbar referred to it as "ridiculous."

All in for a Class Action suit.

The nation is going unhinged. The Republicans are so stupid with their heads in the trough, they have no clue to the unattended consequences of their stupidity.
I will be giving my representative my feedback and it will not be good.
It will take at least two of us.
Cynthia Dunbar it is the GOP that is “ridiculous.” You and your worthless party are frauds.
You pays your dollar you takes your chance...................
I think everyone who gave money should join that as a class action lawsuit.
,,,,, I’m in . Congress is full of career crooks .
My kind of man. Love it!
I gave Sen. Tillis and Sen. Burr of NC written "feedback" and received lame, "working with our friends across the aisle to get to the bottom of the Russia election tampering" form letters in reply.
They don't give a damn they will do what they are bought and paid for to do. And I will never vote for another Republican as long as I live.
I think if 65 million Trump supporters joined it as a class action suit, that would show standing.
Primary, Primary, Primary. It’s the only way short of... well It’s the only way.
Why not sue Obama for raising his rates when the promise was theyd be lower?
While we’re at it how about we repeal the 17th amendment? Put those Senators under the control of the States instead of the lobbyists

GOP leaders are liars and deceivers, but not smart enough to qualify as being racketeers.
