[EL] New GOP Fundraising Group

[JBoppjr at aol.com]

Regarding Rick's comment:
 
Guess we are starting to see if some of the “wild hypotheticals”  
mentioned at the McCutcheon oral argument will come true.
 
The Justices did not raise a concern that the 3 national party  committees 
would get together to raise funds and I don't remember anyone  saying that 
that would be corrupting.  Indeed the RNC complained in  McCutcheon that they 
were in competition with the Congressional and  Senatorial committees and 
they wanted to work with them.
 
The "wild" hypotheticals involved hundreds of candidate committees, PACs  
and state parties getting together in joint fundraising committees and 
raising  $3.5 million or billion or trillion -- I don't remember how much.  So 
lets  not rewrite history so soon.  Jim Bopp

(http://www.politico.com/story/2014/04/gop-fundraising-mccutcheon-105627.html)  reports: 
In the wake of a major campaign finance ruling from the Supreme Court  last 
week, the three major Republican Party committees have formed a new  joint 
fundraising effort that will allow them to collect big checks from  major 
donors. 
According to documents filed with the Federal Election Commission, the  
newly formed Republican Victory Fund is a joint fundraising committee  composed 
of the Republican National Committee, the National Republican  
Congressional Committee and the National Republican Senatorial  Committee.
 
Guess we are starting to see if some of the “wild  hypotheticals” 
mentioned at the McCutcheon oral argument will come  true.
