"The Center For Responsive Politics issued a report late last week under the headline, 'Influx of Corporate Political Cash Followed Pivotal Federal Court Decision.' Their own report, however, is a bit less dramatic. The organization notes that 'corporate treasury money accounted for about $15.5 million of the cash donated to so-called 'super PACs' -- political committees created by the dozen in the ruling's wake, the Center for Responsive Politics finds. That represents more than 17 percent of these new groups' funds.' Additionally, 'Ahead of last November's election, according to the Center's research, only three corporations took advantage of this new ability to use their general treasuries to directly run their own independent expenditures. These three companies -- DGS Construction, Penneco Oil and Central Arizona Block Co. -- spent a combined $54,500 to aid to four federal-level Republican candidates.'
That's it? That's an 'influx'? Seventeen percent of Super PAC funds, plus $54,500 in direct spending?"
