DEMOCRACY 21
• Pro-campaign-finance-reform organization
• Receives funding from George Soros’ Open Society Institute
• Member organization of the anti-tax cut coalition Fair Taxes For All
Based in Washington, DC, Democracy 21 describes itself as a “nonpartisan” group that seeks to “eliminate the undue influence of big money in American politics and to ensure the integrity and fairness of government decisions and elections.” In ... Democracy 21 has also helped the network of George Soros-led Shadow Party groups gain immense influence within the Democratic Party.
... Democracy 21 is a staunch supporter of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 (BCRA), also known as the McCain-Feingold Act, which stipulated that political parties and candidates could only accept “hard money” contributions — ... But the Shadow Party evaded McCain-Feingold’s limits by working through independent non-profit groups (”527 committees” ...) that ostensibly had no connection to the Democratic Party ... Thus, with the aid of Democracy 21 and other organizations that supported McCain-Feingold with its built-in loophole, the rules governing the financing of political campaigns tilted in favor of the Democrats.
