Declares that an expenditure made by a political party committee may not be considered to have been made in concert or cooperation with a candidate or an agent or authorized committee of the candidate solely because the candidate has requested that the committee not make any expenditure in support of the candidate or in opposition to an opponent of the candidate. (That is, a political party committee expenditure in support of a candidate, or in opposition to an opponent, may not be disqualified as an independent expenditure solely because the candidate has communicated to the committee a request that it not make such expenditures.)<br/> 1181102400 2007-06-06 Thu Nov 06 22:40:00 -0600 2008 introduced 44359 'act':5 'opt':3 'independ':1 'expenditur':2 50840 Independent Expenditure Opt Out Act short introduced 44359 'act':7 'may':21 '1971':9 'made':15,28 'make':46 'sole':36 'amend':2 'elect':5 'feder':4 'oppon':59 'parti':19 'polit':18 'candid':35,39,53,62 'consid':24 'cooper':32 'clarifi':11 'concert':30 'opposit':56 'request':41 'support':50 'campaign':6 'committe':20,44 'expenditur':14,48 47407 To amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to clarify that an expenditure made by a political party committee may not be considered to have been made in concert or cooperation with a candidate solely because the candidate has requested that the committee not make any expenditures in support of the candidate or in opposition to an opponent of the candidate. official introduced 44359 1181102400 Wed Jun 06 00:00:00 -0500 2007 117324 S001144 1945-10-18 Christopher 'shay':2,4,6 'christoph':1,3,5 M 400370 Shays Christopher_Shays H.
