ELECTIONEERING COMMUNICATIONS EGUIDE
             http://www.cfinst.org/eguide/electioneering


The Campaign Finance Institute announces its eGuide to the Federal 
Election Commission’s Latest Regulations for the Bipartisan Campaign 
Reform Act.

Recently, the Federal Election Commission (FEC) completed its 
rulemaking under the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (BCRA) on 
“electioneering communications,” i.e., broadcast “issue ads” that 
mention federal candidates shortly before elections. In order to 
clarify these new regulations and explain the debate surrounding them, 
CFI has crafted an Electioneering Communications eGuide.  This eGuide 
summarizes the restrictions and disclosure requirements that BCRA 
placed on corporate and union financing of “issue ads,” chronicles the 
major controversies surrounding the FEC’s consideration of various 
exemptions to these restrictions, and presents the outcome of its 
deliberations in the form of completed regulations. Our eGuide allows 
you to easily and quickly navigate between law, regulations, summary, 
and analysis. You can access this eGuide at
http://www.cfinst.org/eguide/electioneering.

Our new Electioneering Communications eGuide is the second in a series 
of eGuides explaining the recent FEC regulations implementing BCRA.  
We also invite you to explore the similar eGuide we debuted in 
September on the FEC Soft Money Regulations. A third eGuide is 
planned for the FEC’s forthcoming regulations on Coordination and 
Independent Expenditures.

CFI is a non-partisan, non-profit institute affiliated with The 
George Washington University that conducts objective research and 
education, empanels task forces, and makes recommendations for policy 
change in the field of campaign finance.
