For-profit companies could not run these federal political funds anymore. Some nonprofits still could, but they could ask fewer people for donations. Existing for-profit corporate funds would have one year to close.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

Latest action on S. 2515: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Rules and Administration.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects for-profit companies that run corporate PAC-style funds for federal elections. They would have to stop using those funds and close any existing ones within one year. Certain nonprofit corporations could still run these funds, but they would face tighter fundraising rules. Candidates and political committees could see changes in where some campaign money comes from.
Why this matters: This bill matters because it would change how companies can organize money for federal campaigns. For-profit companies could no longer use this PAC-style fund structure. Some nonprofits could still use it, but with tighter rules on who they can ask for money. The bill does not say how much total campaign spending would change.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
