Is Romney Violating Republican National Committee Rule 11 ?

From the official Mitt Romney site:

Already hit your limit? If you’ve given the maximum of $2,500 for the primary and $2,500 for the general election to Romney for President, you can still give to the Romney Victory fund, our joint fundraising committee with the Republican National Committee.

Then it goes on giving further incriminating evidence and finishes with this ..

Paid for by Romney Victory, Inc., a joint fundraising committee authorized by and composed of Romney for President, Inc., THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE, the Idaho Republican Party, the Massachusetts Republican Party, the Oklahoma Leadership Council, the Vermont Republican Federal Election Committee, the National Republican Senatorial Committee, and the National Republican Congressional Committee.

(b) No state Republican Party rule or state law shall be observed that allows persons who have participated or are participating in the selection of any nominee of a party other than the Republican Party,including, but not limited to, through the use of a multi-party primary or similar type ballot, to participate in the selection of a nominee of the Republican Party for that general election. No person nominated in violation of this rule shall be recognized by the Republican National Committee as the nominee of the Republican Partyfrom that state.

* Key word being “joint.” BOTH of them are JOINING together to raise funds for Romney. Right in plain sight.
