Last week the Federal Election Commission announced that it has received 30,000 comments on its proposed rule to redefine what is a regulated political committee. With more than a week to go before the comment period ends, the controversy on the expansive proposed rule will set a FEC record for most public input on an issue. The proposed rule could expand FEC regulation in ways that would limit genuine issue advocacy by nonprofits. To download OMB Watch’s comments click here.
