No group was specifically organized to fight campaign finance reform. Many groups are organized to fight encroachment on gun rights.

Carroll Reece, Chairman of the House Special Committee to Investigate Tax-Exempt Foundations, shows how the United States taxpayer is being used to further Communist aims. Reece was Chairman of the Republican National Committee (1946-1948).<BR/><BR/>Tax-exempt philanthropic foundations clearly have become one principle source of Communist influence infiltration and subversion in the United States.<BR/>Inquiry by four committees of Congress since 1952 has demonstrated beyond all question that eleemosynary foundations -- however laudably described in their charters -- are accountable in history for all their works. <BR/>As one promising approach, the Senate Internal Security subcommittee (of the Committee on the Judiciary) recommended on February 28, 1957, that Congress withdraw the tax-exempt status from any organization "contributing funds to a Communist or Communist-front organization, or for Communist purposes." Such a law would apply to all foundations those definitions already established in the Federal Code by the Subversive Activities Control Act. Tax-exempt foundations then would be subject to citation by the SACB whenever their operations were determined to he tainted by Communist inspiration, purpose, or direction.<BR/>***<BR/>The House Committee on Tax Exempt Foundations reports there are about <B>7,000 foundations</B> in the United States today. Their combined trust funds aggregate $7.5 billion, with total annual income approximating $675 million. Some 500 of the larger foundations, those holding more than $10 million each, control roughly 56 percent of the total endowments, and collect approximately 32 percent of all foundation income.<BR/>Some fifty foundations were named in the hearings as supporters of studies or programs contributing to Communist purposes in the United States."<BR/><BR/>http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/reeceart.htm<BR/><BR/><B>FAST FORWARD TO TODAY</B><BR/>Number of foundations? <I>Unknown</I>! ("In fact, because the files are only partially computerized, state regulators don't even know how many foundations there are. Neither does the Internal Revenue Service." http://www.boston.com/business/articles/2003/12/29/foundations_tax_returns_left_unchecked/ )<BR/><BR/>Number of 501(c) entities (which include foundations, as well as others such as churches, charities, etc.: <I>over 1.6 million</I>!<BR/><BR/>http://www.data360.org/graph_group.aspx?Graph_Group_Id=267<BR/><BR/><B>Would have to guess that Congressman Reece was not wrong.</B>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
