The Federal Election Commission FEC is the independent regulatory agency charged with administering and enforcing the federal campaign finance law. The FEC has jurisdiction over the financing of campaigns for the U.S. House Senate Presidency and the Vice Presidency. In 1971 Congress consolidated its earlier reform efforts in the Federal Election Campaign Act instituting more stringent disclosure requirements for federal candidates political parties and political action committees PACs. Still without a central administrative authority the campaign finance laws were difficult to enforce. Following reports of serious financial abuses in the 1972 presidential campaign Congress amended the Federal Election Campaign Act in 1974 to set limits on contributions by individuals political parties and PACs. The 1974 amendments also established an independent agency the FEC. The FEC opened its doors in 1975. Not until 1974 following the documentation of campaign abuses in the 1972 Presidential elections did a consensus emerge to create an independent body to ensure compliance with the campaign finance laws. Comprehensive amendments to the FECA P.L. No. 93-443 established the Federal Election Commission an independent agency to assume the administrative functions previously divided between Congressional officers and GAO. The Commission was given jurisdiction in civil enforcement matters authority to write regulations and responsibility for monitoring compliance with the FECA. Additionally the amendments transferred from GAO to the Commission the function of serving as a national clearinghouse for information on the administration of elections. Under the 1974 amendments the President the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate each appointed two of the six voting Commissioners. The Secretary of the Senate and the Clerk of the House were designated nonvoting ex-officio Commissioners. The first Commissioners were sworn in on April 14 1975. The 1974 amendments also completed the system currently used for the public financing of Presidential elections. The amendments provided for partial Federal funding in the form of matching funds for Presidential primary candidates and also extended public funding to political parties to finance their Presidential nominating conventions. Complementing these provisions Congress also enacted strict limits on both contributions and expenditures. These limits applied to all candidates for Federal office and to political committees influencing Federal elections. Another amendment relaxed a 1939 prohibition on contributions from Federal government contractors. The FECA as amended now permitted corporations and unions with Federal contracts to establish and operate PACs. The Federal Election Commission hardcover

In 1971 Congress consolidated its earlier reform efforts in the Federal Election Campaign Act FECA instituting more stringent disclosure requirements for federal candidates political parties and political action committees PACs. Still without a central administrative authority the campaign finance laws were difficult to enforce. FECA has been amended in 1976 after the Supreme Court struck down several provisions as unconstitutional in Buckley v. Valeo. Buckley v. Valeo 424 U.S. 1 1976 was a landmark decision of the US Supreme Court on campaign finance. A majority of justices held that as provided by section 608 of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 limits on election expenditures are unconstitutional. In a per curiam by the Court opinion they ruled that expenditure limits contravene the First Amendment provision on freedom of speech because a restriction on spending for political communication necessarily reduces the quantity of expression. It limited disclosure provisions and limited the Federal Election Commission's power. By some measures Buckley is the longest opinion ever issued by the Supreme Court.

réf. 20018Printed for the Authoress" University of Oxford. 1852. . A lively Oxford spoof which can be dated precisely from the references to Marsham Gladstone and the coming General Election. In the General Election of July 1852 the Peelite Gladstone defeated the Conservative Marsham who had been put forward by 'the heads Protestants and protectionists'. A reference to German education is a nod towards the first Oxford University Commission whose report published in 1852 recommended that a switch to a more Germanic educational system. For the background see Brock and Curthoys 'History of the University of Oxford' vol. 6 1997. Printed in black on one side of a 31 x 19 cm. piece of wove paper. In fair condition lightly aged and worn. An announcement in the customary Victorian style of mixed typefaces and point sizes with a series of 'advertisements' printed one above the other. At bottom right: 'Printed for the Authoress.' Begins: 'Mrs. Harris' Commemoration Advertiser The Perfect Substitute for Reform. The Abolition of Dons: A single Trial will convince the most incredulous. The Metaphysical Syphonia Or invisible Wrapper warranted Reason proof and weighs nothing. Apply to the Marines. Il n'y a pas de prix fixe.' A number of quips follow including a dig at 'the Proctors' a list of five 'Candidates for vacant Professorships' the last: 'Practical Electioneering . All the Fellows of Ln.' a fake advertisement for a new book titled 'The Freshman's Vade-Mecum'. The next section refers to the recommendation of the Oxford University Commission that the University follow the German mode of education: 'A Professor Not unequal as he trusts to the educational requirements of the 19th Century has a vacancy for One Pupil. He engages that in six months his fond parents shall not know him from a GERMAN STUDENT. N.B. Duelling extra.' Next there is another spoof advertisement for a book this one titled 'Weathercockiana or the Gladstone of the Future.' Then there comes: 'PRIZE ESSAY Open to all Masters of Arts who have not Graduated in Honours; and to be awarded when Dr. Marsham is returned for the University “On the best means of reconciling the Duties of a Head of a House with those of a Member of Parliament.”' A couple more joke announcements end the spoof.

1860réf. 1253Washington City: National Executive Committee 1860. Folded but not bound or opened. Octavo. 8 pages. Very good with some light soil a few short edge tears two old horizontal fold creases and separation along spine fold of first and last leaves. Campaign pamphlet for the candidacy of John C. Breckinridge and John Lane for President and Vice President in 1860. Breckinridge was then Vice President under James Buchanan. These were the nominees of a Southern pro-slavery faction of the Democratic Party. This pamphlet uses quotes from speeches of these gentlemen and their opponents to argue that the election of any of the other three sets of candidates in 1860 would likely result in Civil War. The other tickets were: Stephen Douglas and Hershel V. Johnson Democratic John Bell and Edward Everett Constitutional Union and Abraham Lincoln and Hannibal Hamlin Republican.

1888réf. 44744N.p.: N.p. 1888. Paperback. 8vo. Wrappers. 15pp. Very good. Faint age toning only; strong single vertical fold not weakened. A tight and nice first edition of this surprisingly neutral review of the main candidates -- incumbent Democrat Grover Cleveland and Republican challenger Benjamin Harrison -- and the major issues of the campaign primarily the tariff reduction proposed by Cleveland. Harrison won though Cleveland recaptured the presidency in 1892. Subtitled "A Repeal of Taxes Will Not Lessen the Price to the Consumer. Distribute the Surplus to the States and Relieve the Counties from the Assessment of Taxes for State Purposes. Promote Temperance by Enforcing the Practical Policy of High License and Local Option as Against the Barren Ideality of Prohition or Nothing."

réf. 40447Washington DC: J. & G.S. Gideon n.y. Paperback. 8vo. Self-cover. 8pp. Very good. Lightly age toned; binding traces at margin; contemporary "39" in brown ink at upper right corner of first page. An attractive and clean-edged first edition of this attack on the Democratic eighth U.S. president undated but certainly published in 1848. After losing his bid for reelection to Whig candidate William Henry Harrison in 1840 Van Buren's opposition to Texas annexation in 1844 lost him the vote of pro-slavery Democrats and he failed to get the nomination and in 1848 the Free Soil Party gave him the nomination. Though his views had become more anti-slavery over the years this no-holds-barred criticism calls him "the great nucleus of the South and the greatest enemy of the free institutions of the North" -- among many less tactful labels. Quite a few of his letters are excerpted to show his support of slavery. This pro-Whig piece then warns supporters against being tempted to support Van Buren and stresses the advantages of Zachary Taylor "the honest man the true patriot the frank intelligent humane soldier and the man of the People" over Democratic candidate Lewis Cass "aggressive wars the resistance of the popular will the constant exercise of the veto the one man power the extension of slavery". Too secondary to warrant inclusion in Wise and Cronin. Not in Sabin. J. & G.S. Gideon paperback
