[EL] About those Public Citizen numbers

[Smith, Brad]

"Public Citizen claims that '67 percent of the organizational comments favored going ahead with [the IRS campaign finance] rulemaking,'



***



"To recap:  The Alliance for Justice and 64 other groups say 'withdraw the proposed regulation,' and Public Citizen hears 'go ahead.' The Alliance Defending Freedom and 26 other groups say 'they should be withdrawn,' and Public Citizen hears 'go ahead.' The Funders’ Committee for Civic Participation and 51 other groups say 'restart the process,' and Public Citizen hears 'go ahead.'... If this is support for the rulemaking process, I would hate to see what opposition looks like."
