The New York Post reminds us that the Pew Charitable Trusts were instrumental in getting the McCain-Feingold "campaign finance reform" through, along with Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Ford Foundation, and George Soros' Open Society Institute all of whom
colluded with Pew to give $123 million between 1994 and 2004 to promote the regulation of political speech.
Sen. John McCain, Sen. Russ Feingold, Rep. Chris Shays and Rep. Marty Meehan have some explaining to do as well.

To say the least. The amount of money pouring in, now almost totally unregulated, was predictable--candidates need money (to pay to the MSM for ads) and voters, even those not looking for access, want a "piece" of the race--they WANT to help candidates and causes they like. Money will always find a way, be it campaigns, the NCAA, or the local PTA.

(Great site, BTW)
