Republican Super PAC Inc.

The Republican Super PAC Inc. was formed by James Bopp Jr., the Indiana lawyer and far-Right Christian Republican political activist who pushed through Citizens United and actively fights McCain-Feingold and any other campaign finance reform, and Roger Villere, chairman of the Louisiana Republican Party.

The concept behind Republican Super PAC, which was introduced to party officials at a Republican National Committee meeting in Dallas, is for G.O.P. candidates and party officials at the national, state and local levels to steer contributions that they can't accept under federal or state election law to the newly formed Republican Super PAC.

Mission

The Republican Super PAC is designed to be a vehicle for unlimited contributions toward independent expenditures in support of Republican candidates at the national and state levels. Derek Willis writes: "In an e-mail promoting the event, its founders wrote that the committee would allow donors to earmark contributions for specific races and would coordinate its activities with other independent entities “to bridge gaps in the independent campaigns supporting Republican candidates.”

"[T]he Federal Election Commission began registering independent expenditure-only committees, which can accept unlimited funds from any source--including corporations and labor unions--provided that they don't contribute to federal candidates or party committees or coordinate with their campaigns," writes Bill Allison for the Sunshine Foundation's report. "In the 2010 election, those committees spent more than $60.7 million influencing federal elections in the 2010 election cycle...

""RSPAC's personnel would be firewalled off from appropriate political parties and candidates, and their agents, to prevent coordination and other legal concerns," and also says that the organization "would coordinate spending with other independent spenders to bridge gaps in the independent campaigns supporting Republican candidates."
