Interesting. Is it as long as they don't mention the name of a candidate?

Again I may be wrong. I thought they could do anything as long as they were completely independent of the campaign.

ì527î Organizations



The prohibition against the use of corporate funds to make or finance electioneering communications does not apply to certain organizations incorporated under 26 U.S.C. ß527.



Incorporated state party committees and state candidate committees registered as ì527î organizations are exempt from the corporate prohibition provided that the committee:



Is not a political committee, as defined at 11 CFR 100.5;


Incorporates for liability purposes only;


Does not use any funds donated by corporations or labor organizations to fund the electioneering communication; and


Complies with the FECís reporting requirements for electioneering communications.  11 CFR 114.2(b)(2)(iii).





Unincorporated, unregistered ì527î organizations may also make electioneering communications, subject to the disclosure requirements and the prohibition against corporate and labor funds.
