Aparently, many people in the Boston area have found unauthorized
charges of around $1000 on their credit cards by the LaRouch campaign,
according to local TV news.  There are similar reports elsewhere in the
country.

The victims had previously made contributions or loans to the campaign
(often about $20) or had purchased a subscription to a LaRouche
publication pushed in airports (*New Solidarity*, I believe) with their
cards.  Many of them also complained about daily calls pleading for more
contributions.
