PenceBlog: <b><i>Roll Call:</i> "527 Reform Not a Done Deal"</b> - U.S. Congressman Mike Pence : 6th District Of Indiana

Tory Newmyer and John Bresnahan detail the upcoming House debate about 527 groups in Roll Call. Here is an excerpt:

"Several leading members of the RSC said they were still making up their minds Monday and won’t come to a decision until they see what form the final measure takes.
"Key to that decision will be the fate of two amendments Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.), chairman of the RSC, plans to offer today in a Rules Committee markup.
"The first would substitute for the Shays-Meehan measure a competing bill authored by Pence and Rep. Albert Wynn (D-Md.) that would reverse many of the campaign finance limits enacted in the 2002 Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act. The Pence-Wynn bill would lift aggregate limits on individual donors, repeal limits on total spending by national parties, and allow unlimited money transfers from leadership political action committees to party committees.
"Pence’s second proposal would eliminate spending caps imposed on party committees when they coordinate their activities with individual candidates."
