>That doesn't solve the problem with 527s. Or the concept behind it. No, it doesn't. And I haven't thought a lot about how to solve it. But I think it's doable. >You can never control the amount of money that goes into political speech without running right over the 1st amendment. You know, it's done all the time, but usually on behalf of money. One could very well say that the fact that the networks decide who gets political airtime and who doesn't despite that they're on government-sanctioned airwaves runs right over the First Amendment. Once again, I think there has to be a way to do it. If there isn't, that just means that people with the most money nearly always have to be the most pandered to, and that is a major problem for democracy. >It insults the intelligence to consider 527s like MoveOn.org and the Swifties "non-partisan," because everyone knows they aren't. Agreed on that point. -Z
