Sen. Chuck Schumer is pushing hard to limit corporate campaign spending -- and to maximize his own campaign's take from corporations. But that hypocritical chutzpah is entirely fitting when it comes to the so-called DISCLOSE Act -- which is a naked effort to squelch the speech of Americans who might criticize Democrats in this year's campaign season.
Democrats are trying to rewrite campaign-finance law to limit corporate (and grass-roots) spending on politics. And Schumer -- who faces no meaningful opposition this fall -- is looking to raise every buck he can from the folks he wants to crack down on.
In a fund-raising letter sent last month to Wall Street and various corporate political action committees (PACs), he says, "We've been making terrific progress with our DISCLOSE Act, the legislation we've proposed that would rein in corporate spending on elections." Then the demand: "But while all that's going on in Washington, right now I need your help with my campaign."
The end of June, Schumer explained, would mark a deadline for Federal Election Commission reports -- and thus his "last chance to dissuade a well-funded challenge from a corporate-backed candidate."
