Citizens United is at it again. This time, with a Trojan Horse... CU has petitioned the FEC to make a rule that would lead to ending all limits on political campaign spending. They are using Bloomberg Campaign's $18MM DNC contribution as their cover. 1/ https://sers.fec.gov/fosers/rulemaking.htm?pid=3097006 …
CU's petition is in line with their famous SCOTUS win that allowed PACs to spend unlimited funds. Now, it seems they want to use the Bloomberg case as a way to chip away at limits on political campaign spending. This is wrong and must be opposed. 5/

The clear fix to this problem is for Congress to amend the law so that 11 U.S.C. §30114(a) speaks of "A contribution accepted by a candidate, a candidate's authorized committee, or an individual..." If I were in Congress, I would write that bill. Will someone else? Comments? 6/6
