MARCH 22, 2001 The Senate on Thursday accepted one amendment to the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform bill and rejected three others. The Senate accepted an amendment introduced by Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) that would require candidates who take out negative ads to identify themselves as the source. Otherwise, they would not qualify for discounts broadcasters give to political candidates. The Senate rejected two Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) amendments. One would have required political unions and corporations to disclose political activities to members and shareholders and the other would have required then to get approval from members and shareholders before using funds for political purposes. The final amendment rejected would have required unions to get approval before using collective-bargaining fees paid by non-members for political activities. Get the Story:
