Been operating it for months - where ya been?
Be careful, Oliver. You might be setting yourself up for a steep FEC fine.
How will the campaign finance laws treat such a website? Iâm guessing itâs illegal to set up a site dedicated to helping elect Sen. Edwards that encourages donations and provides links to donations forms, etc.
After all, donât we have to quantify Oliverâs âcontributionâ to the Edwards campaign? Whatâs the value of Oliverâs time? Whatâs the cost of running the website through 11/04? Must Oliver register or file for some other legal status to maintain such an âorganizationâ that encourages campaign contributions?
All of these questions point to the stupidity of the current campaign finance system which limits political speech. Oliver should have the constitutional right to spend all of his free time campaigning for Senator Edwards — however misguided that may seem!
Of course, the funny part of all this is that Sen. Edwards co-sponsored McCain-Feingold. How ironic.
