The California Republican Party filed a complaint Monday with the Federal Election Commission over four different situations where the party said Barack Obama's presidential campaign and/or its allies are flouting the law.

In one part of the complaint, the party said Obama's campaign failed to disclose its release of a donor list to ACORN, a federal housing rights group under investigation for possible voter registration fraud.

A second part said Obama improperly used campaign funds for personal travel expenses when he went home to Hawaii last month for a few days to visit his ailing grandmother.

The party said in the complaint's third part that the use of lawyers from Saul Ewing LLP for campaign activities constituted a campaign contribution in excess of legal limits.

VIDA Fitness was criticized in two additional parts of the complaint, for improperly facilitating contributions to Obama's campaign and making an illegal contribution to Obama's campaign.

The complaint was filed against Obama for America, Obama Victory Fund, Saul Ewing LLP and VIDA Fitness.

"While claiming to be history's most transparent campaign, Obama for America and its political allies continue fall far below this standard.," CRP chairman Ron Nehring wrote in a press release about the complaint. "Unfortunately, this misconduct is not merely disappointing; it violates the Federal Election Campaign Act and FEC regulations.

"The California Republican Party urges the FEC to immediately investigate these abuses of the law and hold the Obama campaign accountable," Nehring said.

None of the violations detailed in the complaint against Obama and others appeared to take place in California, so it was not clear why the California Republican Party filed the complaint.

A call left with a party spokesman was not immediately returned Monday.

In a release from the California Democratic Party, chairman Art Torres said the complaint lacked merit.

"These charges from the California Republican Party, filed on the same day that Barack Obama's grandmother lost her battle with cancer, are baseless, desperate and despicable," Torres said in the statement. "But furthermore, the CRP's actions epitomize the type of divisive, personal, and too often hateful campaigns the Republicans have resorted to in recent years - this election in particular."
