Unfortunately, no Republican is willing to fund a 527 because the laws are so vague (as in, "freedom for me, but not for thee") and the penalties so severe that getting involved with one is a sure ticket to being lawyered into bankruptcy.

Do you have a link to an article that spells all this out? I'd like to read more about these penalties and vague laws.

I'm trying to find the Supreme Court decision that upheld BiCRA back in 2003. You would think that would be easy with Google (HA!).

Here's a chart from OpenSecrets that (sort of) breaks it down.

I'll do some more looking tomorrow.

I would love to form a 527 of my own, but back before CFR even starting a PAC was difficult. I shudder to think what the IRS requirements are (maybe I'll Google that tomorrow, too).
