"Dark Money Rises: The Influence of Nonprofits on Campaign 2012," will be the title for October's Investigate This Tenement Talk. Panelists for this event include Bradley Smith, chairman of the Center for Competitive Politics, Melanie Sloan, executive director of Citizens for Responsiblity and Ethics in Washington, Nicholas Confessore, political reporter for the New York Times, and Kim Barker, reporter for ProPublica. Farai Chideya will also moderate this discussion. Barker's most recent investigation revealed how social welfare nonprofits evade scrutiny of the political work that many of them do. The conversation will focus on how these organizations operate, whether more restrictions need to be placed on them, and whether or not they should have to disclose their donors.
