FEC says no issue ads for charities and associations

According to last week's InTouch newsletter...

A proposal that would have allowed charitable organizations and associations to air issue ads in the period just prior to a federal election was blocked August 29 when the Federal Election Commission (FEC) split 3-3 along party lines on the issue.

Thank God! I'm sorry, but I absolutely hate these so-called "issue ads." They're nothing more than thinly veiled attempts to smear a candidate.
