Final Thoughts
From the Paper "Another suggested cause of the recent increase in negative campaigning is the growth in independent expenditures by political action committees (PACs) and supplemental lax spending laws. In the 1970's campaign finance regulations declared that while limitations on individual contributions to campaigns is legal, constitutional free speech prohibits placing limitations on the ways in which contributions are spent. As a result, independent contributors are free to use their contribution monies as they like."
