"Avoid the Rush To Judgment: Don’t Abolish 527s"

Nan Aron and David Keating write this Roll Call oped (paid subscription required). It begins:

Congress is considering several bills that would limit free expression to such an extent that they have drawn the united opposition of groups that almost never see eye-to-eye — and are more accustomed to slugging things out toe-to-toe.

Like us.

What could create such an unlikely coalition of political pugilists? S. 271, S. 1053 and H.R. 513 — bills that would effectively abolish the groups that, in Washington shorthand, are known as 527s.
