Government reform groups are trying to trace the money and have filed a complaint to force the pack to identify donors. Unlimbed money can be donated a new law says the names of the contributors to nonprofits must be made public. What is challenging is that you have a hard time evaluating the truthfulness and bias of the spender. Small Business Action Committee packs says the law dictates they must be revealed only if the money is for something specific. None contributions are earmarked for anything.
