So when EMILY's List founder Ellen R. Malcolm asked David to raise money for editorial cartoon ACT and the editorial cartoon Media Fund, she signed on. She views her work as a noble calling, but others think she is undermining the intent of the McCain-Feingold law. "The only objective is to influence the outcome of a federal election," says Thomas E. Mann, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. "The 527s should register with the Federal Election Commission like other political action committees." Just as troublesome, the 527s have led to the rise of the super fat cat, or donors who write megamillion-dollar checks. Among them are such ACT and Media Fund supporters as RealNetworks Inc.

Howard Dean led the way, but by Mar. 1, all the Presidential candidates combined had raised $78 million in under-$200 chunks, more than double the take in 2000. Yet it's still the big bucks and influence peddlers that count most. Bush and Kerry each have gotten more than 65% of their money from $1,000-plus donors. But Kerry is catching cds up fast to Bush by holding Dean-like meetups and challenging online contributors to meet daily fund-raising goals. It seems to be working: On Mar. 26, Kerry said he had raised cds $20 million in 20 days online, beating even Dean's record and far outstripping Bush's $4 million in Net donations. Perhaps reform's most controversial outcome has been the liberal 527 groups, and the political entrepreneurs behind them. The most prominent 527s are the ones that Laurie David is supporting: the Media Fund, run by ex-Clinton aide Harold M. Ickes, and America Coming Together, run by ex-AFL-CIO political director Steve Rosenthal. Big Labor has also steered millions to 527s, such as Partnership for America's Families, which gets money from 10 unions. |
