In reply to the discussion: Hillary Can't Waffle on Trade Forever [View all]NYC_SKP
(68,644 posts)33. LOL. CBS News: "Hillary Clinton plans to coordinate directly with super PAC"
You're very interesting, MaggieD. I didn't get anything from WND, you seemed to dig that up. I cited my source, NPR.
As for Hillary and Super Pacs:
Hillary Clinton plans to coordinate directly with super PAC
Hillary Clinton's campaign intends to coordinate directly with a newly formed super PAC able to receive unlimited donations, according to a Washington Post report.
The Democratic presidential candidate's campaign will work in conjunction with Correct the Record, an independent rapid-response team, previously a part of super PAC American Bridge, which conducts opposition research on Republican presidential candidates and possible GOP presidential candidates. The New York Times first reported Tuesday that Correct the Record would split from its parent organization to support the Clinton campaign.
Though Federal Election Commission (FEC) rules prohibit direct coordination between super PACs and declared candidates, Correct the Record believes it will be able to coordinate with Clinton without violating campaign finance regulations.
The FEC restricts paid internet political advertisements, making them subject to campaign spending limits and disclosure requirements. However, a 2006 FEC rule exempts "public communications" -- like unpaid posts on websites or blogs -- from such regulations. The rules were initially implemented as a safeguard against regulating the free speech of bloggers and other internet communications.

Exactly! Besides the TPP is going to pass whether Hillary supports it or not.

Are you countering proof that she's in the tank for Koch brothers with a challenge to find votes?

It's not the $3,500 that worries me. It's the candidate and her specificity about how she'll govern:

But she said "We do have a plan. We have a plan for my plan." NPR, the bastards!

You seriously need to step back. I got the quote from another DU post that used NPR as the source.

Clinton: "“There is no way you can legislate against reality. Outsourcing will continue."

They really want to believe Bernie can actually do something about outsourcing.
