* 21CD’s history has not been without controversy. Following the 2004 election season, for example, the Campaign Finance Board of Minnesota issued a $293,000 fine to the organization’s Minnesota committee because 21CD National had failed to register as a political committee in that state. As a result of that oversight, any amount contributed by the national group to the Minnesota chapter in excess of $100 was considered illegal. 21CD National was also fined $25,000 for the transgression.
