[QUOTE="vvvvvvv, post: 1176127, member: 5151"] Here's what I posted in the 2A section: Initially, the Schuler Amendment would have exempted ALL 501(c)(4) organizations. The NRA wouldn't support it until it was changed so that it ONLY exempts 501(c)(4) organizations that: [LIST][*]have been active for the previous consecutive 10 years[*]have 1,000,000 or more dues-paying members in the previous year[*]has at least one member in each state[*]receive 15% or less of their revenue from unions or corporations[*]don't use that 15% for independent expenditures or electioneering communications[/LIST] This is their "answer" the the SCOTUS decision in [URL="http://www.altenhofel.com/blog/citizens-united"]Citizens United[/URL] that returned free political speech to corporations. (By the way, the DC Circuit relied heavily on this when ruling that limits on individual contributions are unconstitutional in SpeechNow v. FEC [DC docket 08-5223].) [/QUOTE]
