Well, I from my understanding that you might be able to argue a certain idea (abortion, guns, etc.) under a shell company outside a registered party, bit the minute you mention a name such as "Congressman X voted against Y" you are breaking the law.

Can you link me to the document from where that info came?

From the actual legislation, posted previously on this thread. Try READING it this time:

(b) DEFINITION OF EXPRESS ADVOCACY- Section 301 of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 (2 U.S.C. 431) is amended by adding at the end the following:

`(20) EXPRESS ADVOCACY-

`(A) IN GENERAL- The term `express advocacy' means a communication that advocates the election or defeat of a candidate by--

`(i) containing a phrase such as `vote for', `re-elect', `support', `cast your ballot for', `(name of candidate) for Congress', `(name of candidate) in 1997', `vote against', `defeat', `reject', or a campaign slogan or words that in context can have no reasonable meaning other than to advocate the election or defeat of one or more clearly identified candidates;
