 “Our office did a study and looked at who pays campaign finance  fines, 
who doesn’t, who violates the law a lot, things like that,” said  Secretary 
of State Scott Gessler. “And the bottom line is this: Volunteers and  
grass-roots groups are far more likely to run afoul of the law because the law  is 
so complex. Large, big-money groups are able to hire attorneys and  
accountants and pay very, very few fines.”
 
But this is the purpose of campaign finance laws -- to drive citizens  of 
average means out of our political system. Nice to see it is  working. The 
"reformers" will be very pleased, I am sure.  Jim  Bopp
