FEC asks for input on WRTL

Yesterday, the Federal Election Commission released a notice of proposed rulemaking on how it intends to handle the Supreme Court's ruling in WRTL. The Commission has its response narrowed to two options... both allow communications to be paid with corporate or union funds if they are “susceptible of a reasonable interpretation other than as an appeal to vote for or against a clearly identified Federal candidate.” Option one requires disclosure to the FEC if a communication mentions a candidate and falls within 30 days of a primary or 60 days of an election, and the other does not.

I suspect the usual opponents will square off on this during the comment period...
