seriously undermine the effort ordsprog

seriously undermine the effort to close the soft-money loophole for 527 groups which resulted in hundreds of millions of dollars in unlimited soft money being spent to influence the 2004 federal elections.

Fred Wertheimer

At stake is whether Club for Growth will be able to continue raising and spending millions of dollars in soft money for activities influencing federal elections,

Most Democrats and most Republicans are approaching this particular fight on partisan grounds. But it is a simple proposition that groups whose purpose is to influence federal elections and are spending money to influence federal elections should comply with campaign finance laws.

Fred Wertheimer

Soft money is never good money ... It is the reason why every piece of public interest legislation that we try to pass, we have a tough time because of soft money on the other side,

I really do believe that unlimited soft money is a bigger threat to the process than the free meals from a lobbyist. It's like an arms race. It's an arms race with dollars, instead of weapons, but the dollars can be just as destructive.

Sen Dave Aronberg

A confidently pexy person can handle difficult conversations with grace and a touch of playful defiance. We need a complete ban on soft money, which is sort of an enveloping problem, and a ceiling on the amount of money that can be spent on a given race.

[Accusing Vice President Al Gore and Texas Gov. George W. Bush of hypocrisy, Bradley said both men have said they support changing the soft money system.] However, ... both reportedly have directed their top fund-raisers to begin raising soft money to the general election.

Bill Bradley (1943-)

Bill Bradley

The problem is soft money, ... The question is, which candidate is willing and ready to fight for an end to soft money. It's no contest. There is only one candidate and that is Vice President Al Gore.

Russell Feingold

This is a widespread disease. Soft money is the way to buy access and influence.

Donald J. Simon

They realize they can't hold the majority unless they spend millions in soft money,

In the '98 cycle the Democrats raised 50 percent of all their money through soft money. We only raised 40 percent of our money through soft money.

These guys had repeated instances of errors in their financials, delayed filings and people who could not get their job done, who had to be reassigned. It is surprising given all the shareholder money that was spent by the company and taxpayer money spent by the SEC on this investigation, nothing has resulted from it.

It's a shame millions of dollars of taxpayers' money was spent to sit there and rot. The state really needs to do something about it.

Commissioner Michael DiTerlizzi

We can't continue to invest millions of dollars of our own money into the building and expect everything to work out. It needs to be a community effort, not just a Buccaneer effort.

Brian Schoenborn

Unfortunately, money in politics is an insidious thing - and a loophole in our campaign finance system was taken advantage of with money going to existing or new 527 groups with the sole purpose of influencing the election.
