you are actually very wrong.

Instead of quoting www.iagreetosee.com, head over the actual FEC website where you will see that, no, not all SuperPAC's are independent expenditure only. The Nurses Union is, but Correct the Record for example is not. CtR is a Hybrid/SuperPAC and follows different rubrics and requirements.

So that is your first mistake.

The second one is your mis-reading of your own link. The 527 group Progressive Kick is NOT a donor. They were a recipient in 2012 of 1.5 million dollars.

That is your second mistake.

The Nurse Union does NOT get donations from anyone but its own union members. It is an Independent Expenditure SuperPAC which is very different from other SuperPAC's.

Read more carefully next time before patting yourself on the back for being wrong.

So if it is not a SuperPAC TM99 Nov 2015 #59

It IS a SuperPAC. One of its donors is Progressive Kick, a 527 group. BlueCaliDem Nov 2015 #81

Not true. The NNUPP SuperPAC (and yes, it IS a Super PAC) has a 527 group as another donor BlueCaliDem Nov 2015 #79

But it does, so, my post stands. bravenak Nov 2015 #65

Interesting. I may have misread the NPR piece but i think it implies it is not a superPAC JonLeibowitz Nov 2015 #66
