This is a very well done ad from the Courage Campaign:

Federal law bars corporations from contributing to candidates, and that's not good news for Stephen Colbert's campaign sponsored by Doritos and hyped on Comedy Central 4 nights a week.

Lawrence M. Noble, a former general counsel for the Federal Election Commission says, "These are the kind of things on slow days you'd debate until the late afternoon at the FEC, but there are serious questions that come up. In theory, he could end up having some campaign finance problems."

Colbert responds, "In accepting corporate money, I promise to respect federal election laws the same way I respect the "must-shower-before-swimming law at the Y. As a candidate, I am under no obligation to promote the zesty, robust taste of Doritos brand tortilla chips, regardless of how great a snack they may be for lunchtime, munch time, anytime."

Evolve Strategies has developed a Web-based “widget� to collect and report election incidents that may require voter protection intervention.

VoterStory.org is an open-source utility that can be placed on any website to feed data into a central database, which in turn alerts voter protection groups each time a new incident is reported in their district.

The MAPLight.org website combines information from the Official California Legislative Information website, which contains the official text of each bill and how each legislator voted, and the Institute on Money in State Politics, a national nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to accurate, comprehensive and unbiased documentation and research on campaign finance.

MAPLight.org allows journalists and citizens to answer questions such as:

Speaks for itself. A MUST WATCH!
