The fec rules specifically provide  that  political committees may incorporate without being subject to any of the restictions on corporations.

So many people, when they hear the word "corporations", have a knee-jerk response that "corporations" means huge for-profit corporations.  But I believe that the vast majority of corporations in the U.s. are not huge for-profit businesses.  Many corporations are created by "little people."

The Libertarian Party National Committee is a corporation.  I always wonder if people on this list know that, or care.  Does anyone really believe that a minor party should be barred from commenting on candidates?

I'm a lurker and a layman to boot, but I feel 
compelled to write by Jim Bopp's latest postings. I frankly am stunned at 
the chutzpah being displayed by Atty 
Bopp in suggesting that Citizens United's real impact is to empower little 
guys like me to influence elections. It is nothing short of staggering. It 
is Doubletalk and Newspeak rolled into one. The list readers must either be 
quite naive or not paying attention. And it's important to pay 
attention.
