Harder Than Soft Money

The explosion of issue advocacy -- money spent by individuals and independent groups to support political causes -- threatens to make even an outright ban on "soft" money irrelevant.

Robert DreyfussDec 19, 2001

In Virginia, fresh-faced, environmentally minded schoolchildren gather biological samples and test water quality in rivers and waterways, part of the Izaak Walton League's Save Our Streams initiative. In Chicago, amid Tai Chi classes and body massages, families with young children enjoy performance art and teenagers flock to an all-night "rave," all part of the Museum of Contemporary Art's Summer Solstice weekend.

Just before the November election, concern about foreign influence
over U.S. trade policy suddenly emerged amid revelations that
the Clinton campaign had accepted (and then returned) illegal
donations from wealthy East Asian nationals. But as the media
focused on the connections of one fundraiser to the White House
and the debate became tinged with xenophobia, a bigger story of
influence-peddling got lost: the role of multinational corporations
that nominally fly the American flag.
