The Rise of Dark Money


Sunlight Foundation: "Of the $189 million spent so far by Super PACs, non-profits and labor unions to influence the 2010 mid-term elections, $97.5 million has come from groups that do not disclose any donors, an analysis of Federal Election Commission contribution records shows. That is, about 52 percent of the money spent so far on everything from political ads to phone banks to fliers promoting or opposing federal candidates has come from groups that don't disclose the sources of their funds."

they need to log and track my 500usd but not 500,000usd from corporate donors and the wealthy.

We need to demand transparency.
