Democrats say anonymous donors unfairly influencing Senate races | 89.3 KPCC
In Senate races, Democrats are fighting to preserve their thin majority. Their party campaign committee wants the Federal Election Commission to crack down on some of the Republicans' wealthiest allies outside money groups that are using anonymous contributions to finance a multimillion-dollar onslaught of attack ads, NPR reports.
At the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, director Matt Canter says the pro-Republican groups aren't playing by the rules. The committee plans to file a complaint with the FEC accusing a trio of "social welfare" groups of actually being political committees, abusing the rules to hide the identities of their donors.
"These are organizations that are allowing right-wing billionaires and corporations to essentially get special treatment," says Canter.
Democrats don't have high-roller groups like these. Canter says that while ordinary donors in politics have to disclose their contributions, "these right-wing billionaires and corporations that are likely behind the ads that these organizations are running don't have to adhere to any of those laws."
The complaint cites Crossroads GPS, co-founded by Republican strategist Karl Rove; Americans For Prosperity, supported by the billionaire industrialists David and Charles Koch; and 60 Plus, which bills itself as the senior citizens' conservative alternative to AARP.
The three groups have all told the IRS they are social welfare organizations, just like thousands of local civic groups and definitely not political committees.
Canter said they've collectively spent about $22 million attacking Democrats in Senate races this cycle.
The Obama campaign filed a similar complaint against Crossroads GPS last month. Watchdog groups have also repeatedly complained to the FEC and IRS.
I see nothing wrong with he who has the most money owns the government.
You?

Oh wait, that article was actually serious. I guess that in the eyes of the media all the money that the Unions dump into Dim candidacies just doesn't fit the "high-roller" bill.
Unions spent $4.4 billion on politics in past 6 years
A Wall Street Journal analysis of political spending unveiled Tuesday found that organized labor groups dropped a combined $4.4 billion on political activities between 2006 and 2011, about four times more than previously estimated.
