- Advisory Opinion, 6/30/2011 - Majority PAC and House Majority PAC - Found that federal officeholders and candidates could solicit contributions on behalf of super PACs and other committees that can accept unlimited individual, corporate, and labor organizations as long as the candidate or officeholder abides by contribution limits during their solicitations. Also ruled that candidates and officeholders could attend, speak at, and be featured guests at fundraisers for these committees.
