Are we going in the wrong direction again? Do we really
need more loopholes in campaign finance? Why is it okay for political candidates
to circumvent the laws we have under the excuse it is in the interest of
promoting “political speech”?
Per
Huffington Post journalist, Paul Blumenthal: “An investigation targeting
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) for alleged illegal coordination with
independent conservative groups during his 2012 recall election has been thrown
into limbo by a lawsuit that could turn into the next big challenge to campaign
finance limits. The case has the potential to blow a hole in anti-coordination
rules in Wisconsin and beyond -- a hole that would effectively wipe away
campaign contribution limits by allowing candidates to control the unlimited
and secret contributions raised by not-really-independent groups.”
