In the document, we saw when a reporter was called from a guy that said that they had an important paper that involved with WTP having interactions with a candidate. that an issue about how some papers were found about some candidates. The papers that were found had a connection with the WTP group(correct me If I'm wrong). Many people in the video said that they are mad because they don't know where the money is coming from so the group can help out the candidate. Thye wanted whoever funded that money to report themselves. But, I believed that the people who raise money to help the candidate win should have their own opinion on whether they want to keep anonymous or not.

PAC Vs Super PAC
For the past days in class, we have watched a document that talks about the difference between PAC and Super PAC. To recap, PAC stands for Political Action Committee. PAC had been around since 1944. The meaning of PAC is "A popular term for a political committee organized for the purpose of raising and spending money to the elect and defeat candidates" and Super PAC is a group that is allowed to raise unlimited money towards the candidate to promote to vote for the candidate or parties. Super PAC was created "after the United States court appeal decision in Speechnow v. FEC in 2010".

I disagree but also agree with your final statement. I do know that these corporations would all rather have their donations anonymous, and with good reason. They don't want to lose any customers and have their names look bad because their supporting a candidate whose different from which their customers support. But also I feel like if we as customers/fans knew who our favorite grocery market or celebrities support, we should know whether or not to support them anymore. Sure there are people who wouldn't care but for the die hard fans, I believe they be devastated and take their following else where, where their money doesn't go to the opposite part of which they support. We as customers could basically be supporting people of the opposite party, and we don't even know it.
