12. If I recall correctly that had a very narrow objection to part of McCain-Feingold, which they
thought could have been used against groups like them, as they are technically a corporation. Their fear stems from experience they had with the FEC under Nixon accusing them for electioneering by running an newspaper ad critical of the Nixon's Administration handling of busing. That strikes me as a legitimate grievance on their part.

I loathe the Citizens United ruling though.
