“Professor Brad Smith asks you to imagine the following scenario: at the height of the War on Terror, the government passes a second PATRIOT Act. This law would require you to report all your political activity to the government, including the campaigns you support. In addition, the government would then make a list of your political activity available to anyone — potential employers, creditors, and even your neighbors. Does this sound like an invasion of your privacy? According to Professor Brad Smith, we already have a law that does exactly this. It’s the Federal Elections Campaign Act of 1974 (FECA).”
