_CPI  reports._

As much as I love my friends at CPI, I won’t be adopting their “jumbo  
joint” terminology for these JFCs which are thriving thanks to  McCutcheon

Actually these are much different than the "wild hypothetical's"  the  
reformers tried to scare the Court with. Those "wild hypothetical's" had a  
bunch of candidates coming together in a jfc and then funneling the  money to 
one candidate. It is obvious that that is not  happening.  In all the examples 
listed in the CPI report each member of the  joint fundraising comm will 
keep the money they receive.  So no  "solicitation of 3.5 million going to one 
candidate" as they claimed.  
 
I am sure the reformers are very relieved and will take back everything  
they said. Jim Bopp
