New Alan Grayson Website Violates House Ethics Rules

Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) just took to the House floor to announce his new website, "Names of the Dead".  According to the website:

Every year, more than 44,000 Americans die simply because have no health insurance.

I have created this project in their memory. I hope that honoring them will help us end this senseless loss of American lives. If you have lost a loved one, please share the story of that loved one with us. Help us ensure that their legacy is a more just America, where every life that can be saved will be saved.

-  May not include personal, political, or campaign information; and

-  May not be directly linked or refer to websites created or operated by a campaign or any campaign-related entity, including political parties and campaign committees.

This website is clearly a violation of the above rules. 

The disclaimer says "Paid for by Congressman Alan Grayson," but includes links to his campaign website, etc..
