Gee, what a surprise. The lib dems have rigged the system. I'm so glad campaign finance reform was passed so that special interests could no longer take advantage of the system.

Please note: A friend emailed this to me. Roll Call is a subscription paper (which I have no subscription for). The link only takes you a very brief summary of the article.

Please, no one tell quidnunc I have violated copyrights.

Maybe most importantly, 501(c)(4) and 527 groups associated with three major nonpartisan but Democratic-leaning groups — the League of Conservation Voters, Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro-Choice America — are allowed to run TV ads financed with soft dollars in the weeks before the 2004 elections, even though virtually all other comparable organizations are prohibited from doing the same.

Sounds like an oportunity. We need to establish such groups.

nonprofit ideological corporations that don’t accept funds from labor unions or corporations, don’t have shareholders and that were established to promote political ideas can run political TV spots funded with soft money.

Sounds like the NRA-ILA.
