DNC reverses ban on fossil fuel PAC donations [View all]
DNC reverses ban on fossil fuel donations
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) overwhelmingly passed a resolution on Friday evening saying it welcomes donations from fossil fuel industry workers and “employers’ political action committees.”
<->
Christine Pelosi, a DNC member who co-authored the June resolution, offered an amendment to Perez’s measure that would strike the words “employers’ political action committees" to discourage donations from corporate PACs.
Pelosi said removing that language would reaffirm that Democratic Party’s “commitment to overturn Citizens United and banning corporate PAC money.”
But the motion to amend the language proposed by Pelosi failed, 4 to 28. The DNC’s executive committee voted to approve the original resolution, 30 to 2.
