{"product_id":"the-state-of-campaign-finance-garrett-9781502956651","title":"The State of Campaign Finance Policy: Recent Developments and Issues for Congress","description":"Minor and major changes have occurred in campaign finance policy since 2002, when Congress substantially amended campaign finance law via the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (BCRA). The Supreme Court's 2010 ruling in Citizens United v. FEC and a related lower-court decision, SpeechNow.org v. FEC, arguably represent the most fundamental changes to campaign finance law in decades. Citizens United lifted a previous ban on corporate (and union) independent expenditures advocating election or defeat of candidates. SpeechNow permitted unlimited contributions to such expenditures and facilitated the advent of super PACs. Although campaign finance policy remains the subject of intense debate and public interest, there have been few legislative or regulatory changes to respond to the 2010 court rulings. This report considers these and other developments in campaign finance policy and comments on areas of potential conflict and consensus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Garrett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1502956659\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781502956651\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/31\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.02h x 8.50w x 0.07d","brand":"Garrett","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47425300791551,"sku":"9781502956651","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6b05807f-08b8-498f-91d0-7c51d546f44a.jpg?v=1761538294","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-state-of-campaign-finance-garrett-9781502956651","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
