Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit February 9, 1999, No. 98-15443 (National Committee of the Reform Party of the United States v. Democratic National Committee)

SCHROEDER, Circuit Judge:

This action raises a number of challenges to the two principal federal campaign finance laws: the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 (“FECA”), 2 U.S.C. §§ 431-55, which limits contributions to and spending on federal election campaigns, and the Presidential Election Campaign Fund Act (the “Fund Act”), 26 U.S.C.
