User:SandwichProf/Independent expenditure

== "An organization making an independent expenditure must include a federally mandated disclaimer identifying the person or organization paying for the communication and stating that the communication was not authorized by a candidate or candidate's committee." == This statement is correct but it omits important information such as that independent expenditures must be paid with hard money, which is the reason for mandatory disclosure.

"In 2010, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit held in Speechnow.org v. Federal Election Commission that political action committees (PACs) and other groups that made independent expenditures, but not contributions to candidate committees or parties, could accept contributions without restriction as to source or size." This is misleading. It does not mention Citizens' United or that this describes Independent Expenditure Only Committees aka SuperPACs. Needs more detail and links to other pages.
