Campaign Finance Reform:
Should "soft money" contributions be prohibited?
The term "soft money" refers to unregulated and unlimited contributions to political parties, usually given through corporate and labor union political action committees. According to a Gallup poll conducted this month, 72 percent of Americans would support new federal laws limiting "soft money" contributions. Join a discussion on campaign finance reform.

Common Cause

YES. We must close this corrupting loophole by requiring that money solicited or received by political parties must comply with federal law. Learn more about Common Cause's position.

The Heritage Foundation

NO. The Supreme Court has clearly ruled that the First Amendment protects "soft money" contributions as a form of political speech.
