<p>Notably, Manny Ortegy, the Law Chair of the Staten Island Democratic Party, <a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/80007276/13012FECComplaint" target="_blank">filed a complaint</a> to the Federal Elections Commission, calling on them to "refer these allegations, as appropriate, for criminal prosecution."</p>

The DCCC also called on New York's other GOP Congressman, Bob Turner to return campaign contributions sent his way by Mr. Grimm.</p>
