No Limit to Cash to Fight Schwarzenegger’s Plans

Arnold at the podiumMore bad news for Arnold.

AP reports: “The Federal Election Commission voted Thursday to let members of Congress raise unlimited “soft money” to fight Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s redistricting plan in California.”

The 6-0 decision came in response to a request from Reps. Howard Berman, D-Calif., and John Doolittle, R-Calif., both of whom oppose the redistricting initiative.

The decision will let federal officeholders raise unlimited sums from unions, corporations and other donors to support or oppose any measure on the ballot of the Nov. 8 special election called by Schwarzenegger.”

Four words: Special interests. Prevail again.
