It was a basic limitation of donations of hard money to campaigns which caused people to donate to what we call 527 organizations that have little accountability. These 527 groups can, and did, say anything to get a candidate elected. I'll send you more if you want it but the Campaign Finance Reform Act was one of Senator McCain and Finegold's worst ideas.

(527 refers to the IRS code)
