Hillary Clinton signals break with past in Iowa call to end 'uncontrolled money'

[stuffmatters]

46. Hillary called for an end to "untraceable" money in politics...essentially the Disclose Act

On CBS Nightly (becoming NeoFox more & more) Nancy Cordess cut off reporting &censored Hillary's 4 pt speech...points 3 & 4, one of which was getting "untraceable" money out of politics. Instead Cordess decided to remind America that Hillary's criticism of money in politics was "from someone expected to raise 2 billion dollars." I was stunned at not only Cordess' unabashed censorship but also the blatant editorializing instead of reporting.


Overturning Citizens United with a national amendment is pretty hard, neigh impossible, to achieve. (27 states have Repub/Koch/ALEC governors) So it's a hollow talking point to promise. Anyone running for my vote, personally, should be talking about what Presidential executive orders they'll initiate on day one. That would include changing the IRS language for "social welfare" exemptions back to its original language: to get both the taxfree and anonymity privilege orgs (Pacs) would need to demonstrate that they are"exclusively" not "predominately" charitable orgs for social benefit. That's how the IRS statute was written and it can be changed back at the IRS anytime.

This would make any dark money unable to claim charitable exemption for propoganda and remove their legal steamrolling and silence their fake outrage machine. Promoting hate, pollution, sexism and injustice couldnever qualify as social welfare planks. And this simple one word fix in the IRS statute could not be called partisan because it would be a uniform statute. And again, it would take away the dark, even foreign money's anonymity. This is the concrete, simple and non partisan "fix" Hillary should be citing as a
presidential action to get "untraceable" money and cutting off hundreds of millions of dollars of involuntary funding by taxpayers for dark money "tax free" propaganda ...maybe Hillary's highlighting this will get Obama to do it now and not wait.
