I Admit, I Got It Wrong

I must apologies to my readers

and to Yaz129 on a mistake I made in my Post,

 "To Yaz129."

In July, 2010 the Supreme Court ruled that it was

"Unconstitutional"

to limit a Person's contribution to any

"Political Party"

or

"Candidate."

They call it

"Dark Money."

- In the politics of the United States, dark money is a term for funds given to nonprofit organizations—primarily 501(c)(4) (social welfare) and 501(c)(6) (trade association) groups—that can receive unlimited donations from corporations, individuals, and unions, and spend funds to influence elections, but are not required to disclose their donors. -

I did not try to mislead anyone in my explanation of
American Politics
in my Post,

"To Yaz129."

When I wrote that story,

I thought I new the answers,
right off the top of my head,
but like everything in life,
changes happen all the time,
if you realize it or not.

I forgot my rule,

and that is:

Get as much information as you can on a subject,

before you write about it out here,

on this Blog.

Do the research first.

The Supreme Court also ruled that

"Super PACs"
could not be limited either on their contributions.
What's the difference between a
Super PAC
and a traditional
Political Action Committee?

- The most important difference between a Super PAC and traditional candidate PAC is in who can contribute, and in how much they can give. Candidates and traditional candidate committees can accept $2,500 from individuals per election. That means they can take in $5,000 a year - half in the primary, and half in the general election.

Candidates and traditional candidate committees are prohibited from accepting money from corporations, unions and associations. Federal election code prohibits those entities from contributing directly to candidates or candidate committees. Super PACs, though, have no limitations on who contributes or how much they contribute.

They can raise as much money from corporations,unions and associations as they please and spend unlimited amounts on advocating for the election or defeat of the candidates of their choice. -

 Why do they call it

"Dark Money?"

Because
Billionaires
still don't want the
American Public
know that their
Government Officials
are just
"Puppets!" 

At least I got that part right!

This is,
The Hoping For Political Reform Advocate,

Jim Hauenstein,

And,

"We demand that big business give the people a square deal; in return we must insist that when any one engaged in big business honestly endeavors to do right he shall himself be given a square deal."

- Theodore Roosevelt -

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
