"The Senate Rules Committee today marks up S. 271, or McCain-Feingold II, which would extend many of the tenets of McCain-Feingold to 527s, unions, advocacy groups, and 501(c)'s that participate in nonfederal as well as federal political activities. The bill's sponsors are bipartisan, but Democratic strategists contend that the measure would cripple their party's campaign ground game -- and that Democratic members of Congress, including a few co-sponsors of the legislation, are realizing this too late. They also argue that the bill casts too wide a net, and that the effort to quash start-up 527s like the Swift Boat Vets for Truth has ensnared older, established groups on both sides of the aisle which have been around for years"
