WTF is a "shadow organization", can you please define that term you used?
Really, it just sounds like you have a problem with free speech and/or free association. If a group of people want to form an organization called Free Press (https://www.freepress.net/ https://www.freepress.net/) and advocate for things they think are important, that's part of being in a free country.

- spaced-out 4y agoI'm all for more transparency around money in politics, but unfortunately there's one political party that has consistently blocked efforts address this issue. What do you mean by "efforts to influence"? You mean calling people like Elon Musk on the phone and asking them to do stuff? Or like sending emails to people on their mailing list asking them to boycott something?
