41.7: National Convention Funding

Replace the system of taxpayer funding of national conventions with a system that allows additional contributions to the national party committees for convention activities.

Other Information:

National conventions have historically played an integral role in our democracy. Under current law, they are funded with tax revenue designated by taxpayers through the political check-off program. Establishing a system under which the Republican and Democratic National Committees could raise money outside the current federal limits and prohibitions for the purpose of funding their conventions would allow removal of the taxpayer funding without forcing the parties to divert regular federal dollars from traditional campaign activity.
