Oct. 26, 2010 Page ii 2010 Independent Electioneering Activities

Public Citizen has identified 149 groups that have reported to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) expenditures intended to influence this year’s elections and have ei- ther accepted large contributions (above $5,000) or have not reported the source of their contributions at all. These groups’ electioneering activities and their large contributions are chronicled at www.citizen.org/stealthpacs. Public Citizen is updating the Web site regularly to reflect new reports.

This report enumerates the information contained on the Web site, reflecting data through October 25.

• The 149 groups studied have reported $176.1 million in expenditures, including $109.4 million in independent expenditures and $66.7 million in electioneering communications. See Figure 1. Independent expenditures are payments for activities expressly intended to influence the outcomes of elections; electioneering communications are messages depicting a federal candidate within 60 days of a general election of 30 days of a primary that stop short of asking the audience to vote for or against a candidate.

• Of independent expenditures, $79.4 million has been spent to aid Republicans, com- pared to $28.5 million for Democrats. See Figure 2. Reports to the FEC for electioneering communications do not indicate a candidate supported or opposed.

• Just ten groups are responsible for 65 percent of the spending, or $114.6 million of 176.1 million. See Figure 3 for a list of spending by each group.

• Before the Supreme Court’s January 2010 decision in Citizens United v. Federal Elec- tion Commission , organizations making independent expenditures were required to disclose the sources of the money paying for them. In many instances, such groups no longer do. The majority of funding for independent election spending in 2010 has come from undisclosed sources. o Of the 149 groups covered this report, 80 have not disclosed any information about the sources of their money to the FEC. These 80 groups are responsible for 59.9 percent of spending, or $105.4 million of $176.1 million. o Of the top 10 spenders, only two have disclosed any funder information. o The five groups spending the most without disclosing their funders are the U.S. Chamber of Commerce ($28.7 million), American Action Network ($14.2 million), Crossroads Grassroots Policy Strategies ($11.5 million), American Future Fund ($9.3 million) and Americans for Job Security ($9 million). See Figure 3.

• Independent groups (counting those engaging in independent expenditures, electioneering communications, or both), have collectively disclosed $70.7 million in contributions this year from about 124,000 donors through October 21, 2010. But the top 150 donors are responsible for $47.2 million of the disclosed contributions, Public Citizen Briefing Book On Electioneering Activities

meaning that 0.12 percent of the donors are responsible for 66.8 percent of the reported contributions. Figure 4 lists the 150 largest donors.

• Five groups have spent money to influence more than 35 races each: the U.S. Cham- ber of Commerce, NARAL Pro-Choice America, Susan B. Anthony List Inc., 60 Plus Association and Americans for Prosperity. Figure 5 lists the number of contests each group has attempted to influence.

• Eight contests, all Senate races, have incurred at least $5 million in spending by the outside groups studied. See Figure 6 for a listing of the contests on which the most outside money has been spent. Figure 7 enumerates the groups that spent money on each of these contests and the amounts they spent.

• Thirty groups did not make their first expenditures to influence the 2010 elections until at least October 11, or within three weeks of Election Day. The highest spenders among the newcomers have been the Center for Individual Freedom ($2,482,312), Ending Spending Fund ($1,150,000) and Women’s Voices Women Vote Action Fund ($1,056,545). Figure 8 lists the new groups and the amount each has spent; Figure 9 enumerates the contests each group has attempted to influence, the amount the group has spent and the candidates on whose behalf the expenditures were made, if such information is available.
