Summary:

Provides overview of new political action committees known as super PACs, or independent-expenditure-only committees, which are comprised of individuals, corporations, and unions that are permitted to contribute as much as they wish to advocate the election or defeat of Federal candidates. Explores what super PACs are, how they developed, what they raised and spent in the 2010 election cycle, potential issues for 2012, and possible impact of super PACs on Federal campaign finance policy and Federal elections. Includes tables and graphs.
