Peter Flaherty, president of the National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC), announced Thursday that the group is filing a formal complaint with the Federal Election Commission against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs. Also named as a Respondent is Citizen Change, an organization founded by Combs that sponsored the Vote or Die Campaign during last year’s presidential election. Flaherty was furious Combs was given a “special award” from the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. “Honoring Combs shows how badly the civil rights movement has lost its way,” Flaherty said. “The Vote or Die Campaign was little more than a way for Combs to call attention to himself. In terms of effectiveness, it was a joke.”
