[EL] account of how the c4 situation became what it is?

[Justin Elliott]

Hi --

To briefly introduce myself since I'm new to the list: I'm a reporter at
Salon who covers campaign finance from time to time. People may have read
my recent inteview with Floyd Abrams and Rick's response
http://bit.ly/AnZlbK  http://bit.ly/yRXw55

Quick question for the group. I'm looking for a narrative account or just
good explanation of how we got to the current point of c4s running ads etc
and not disclosing donors. My sense is this is a relatively new phenomenon,
but I'd like to be more clear on the legal/regulatory background....

Thanks!
Justin Elliott
