DescriptionRick Bolanos, the Democratic candidate for Congress, filed a lawsuit Thursday alleging U.S. Rep. Henry Bonilla's campaign illegally bought at least a dozen Web sites Bolanos would have used for his campaign's online site.

Bolanos told reporters that his opponent's campaign is "cybersquatting" in violation of a U.S. statute in an attempt to hurt Bolanos' campaign by making it appear Bolanos does not have a working site.

A Whois.net domain search for the owner of the page lists [Bonilla campaign treasurer Jill] DeYoung as "registrant" and says the page was registered through domain sales site GoDaddy.com, Inc.

DeYoung said she had no comment when reached by phone Thursday.
