Post- Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act
CFI has been assessing the impact of the BCRA on the federal level. The research has been centered around the 2006 and now 2008 election cycles, Senate Electronic Disclosure and the growing use of 527s, 501 (c)4s and 501 (c)6s, which have come to replace much of the soft money that was lost due to BCRA restrictions.

Famous quotes containing the words post-, campaign and/or reform:
“I don’t think it is always necessary to take up the anti-colonial—or is it post- colonial?—cudgels against English. What seems to me to be happening is that those people who were once colonized by the language are now rapidly remaking it, domesticating it, becoming more and more relaxed about the way they use it—assisted by the English language’s enormous flexibility and size, they are carving out large territories for themselves within its frontiers.”
—Salman Rushdie (b. 1948)
“Now, Mr. President, we don’t intend to trouble you during the campaign but after you are elected, then look out for us!”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“Both of us felt more anxiety about the South—about the colored people especially—than about anything else sinister in the result. My hope of a sound currency will somehow be realized; civil service reform will be delayed; but the great injury is in the South. There the Amendments will be nullified, disorder will continue, prosperity to both whites and colored people will be pushed off for years.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
