It didn't take long before they move away from this bill. The key provisions of the McCain-Feingold Act were:
It prohibited national political party committees from soliciting, receiving, directing, transferring, or spending money that is not subject to the limitations, prohibitions, and reporting requirements of the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA). This effectively banned the use of "soft money" - large contributions from corporations, unions, and wealthy individuals that were used to fund issue ads and other activities.
