Americans for a Better Country (ABC) is a Section 527 committee. In a November 18, 2003 letter (PDF) to the Federal Election Commission seeking an Advisory Opinion, ABC requested answers to numerous questions in order ensure that its activities--and those of other Section 527s--comply with the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, and the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 (McCain-Feingold). The letter states "ABC wishes to engage in a variety of fundraising and political activities in the 2003-2004 election cycle, culminating in a massive voter mobilization effort emphasizing voter registration and get-out-the-vote ("GOTV") activities. For both fundraising and political purposes, ABC wishes to state in a press release announcing its launch that its purpose is to reelect President Bush and defeat the Democratic nominee." Statute requires the FEC to issue an opinion within 60 days.
