Since the days of Andrew Jackson, campaign financing in America has been a controversial, confusing and important issue effecting elections in our republic. All you will need to know and more on Wednesday's Test on Campaign Financing (Glencoe, Pgs. 477-479) is here. This "flipped" lesson will need to be completed in the comment section here by Thursday, 3/6, but you need to know most of this stuff for Wednesday's test.
Campaign Finance History in US
Click on the Link and take notes
1) Define: a) Buckley v. Valeo (1976); b) Bi-Partisan Campaign Finance Reform Act (2002); c) Citizens United v. FEC (2011).
2) Watch the video above and identify the Citizens United vs. FEC case and explain its impact on elections in the U.S. today.
3) Analyze the charts above and View the Prezi presentation below (thanks, Maura O'Kane). In a sentence or two, what's the biggest takeaway?
4) What is a Lobbyist and what is a PAC? Other than monetary donations, how can they influence (for better and worse) the legislative process.....Jack Abramoff was the King of K Street (the HQ of lobbyists in Washington) until he went to prison on 2006. They made a movie about him starring Kevin Spacey.
5) Just for kicks, Colbert
Super PAC meets disenter John Paul Stevens. Stevens doesn't think Corporations should have "Free Speech Rights." But the majority of the Supreme Court (5) did in a ruling that "created" Super PACs. What is the influence on our elections today?

1. Buckey v. Valeo: restriction on the amount of money a person can spend on political communication during a campaign
Bi-Partisan Campaign Finance Reform Act: introduced many changes to federal campaign finance law; contained soft money and campaign ads
