That's a good point! I was thinking that a corporation that pissed people off with political shenanigans, would face backlash in the marketplace. But one guy with a couple of bucks, and a lawyer, can form a corporation in a heartbeat. Plus I think if it's privately held, only minimal information about who owns it, who's part of it, income sources & expenditures, have to be disclosed.

Yes, they can't use regular dues, only money donated by members that's specificaly earmarked for political use.
