moveon.org is not a 527, it predates the legislation, having been

during the Clinton impeachment furor.
It is a PAC, with full disclosure of donors.


"moveon.org" operates under the provisions of Internal Revenue Code
26 U.S.C. Section 527.

Partially correct:

From www.moveon.org/about

The MoveOn family of organizations consists of three entities.
MoveOn.org, a 501(c)(4) organization, primarily focuses on education
and advocacy on important national issues. MoveOn PAC, a federal PAC,
primarily helps members elect candidates who reflect our values. And
MoveOn.org Voter Fund, a 527 organization, primarily educates voters
on the positions, records, views, and qualifications of candidates
for public office.


Anyone think we should get rid of every last drop of this campaign finance
mumbo jumbo and just say "look, you can't have money from foriegners, and
you have to show where it all came from"?
