Think Group A could be made aware of the "evil" actions of Group B?

First, we have the most recent entreaty on the part of Public Citizen, which is a progressive organization structured as a 501(c)(4) who's purpose (currently) to fund political advocacy  to urge Congress to overturn the right of 501(c)(4) organizations to fund political advocacy. 

If it weren’t for everything Public Citizen has done for the past 42 years and counting, the cloud of corporate greed looming over so much of our lives may by now have cast all of America under a permanent shadow.

During my 16 years of service in the U.S. House of Representatives, I saw over and over again just how vital Public Citizen is to defending health and safety, consumer rights, and our very democracy from Big Business and its many puppets in politics.

Public Citizen does the hard work behind the scenes that helps get good laws passed and bad bills stopped.

I really don’t know another organization that more skillfully and effectively counteracts the vastly better funded legions of corporate lobbyists that infest the halls of Congress day in and day out.

And — most significantly at this moment — nobody is doing more than Public Citizen to fight the U.S. Supreme Court’s stupid and stupefying decision in the Citizens United case.

It’s largely owing to Public Citizen that the movement to overturn Citizens United — and its evil twin McCutcheon v. FEC if it goes badly too — with a constitutional amendment has taken root so deeply and so quickly.

In this season of giving, I hope you will join me in making as generous a contribution to Public Citizen as you can.

Public Citizen can’t win without help from engaged Americans like you.

Then we have the Daily Kos. The Daily Kos is a product of Kos Media, LLC. It's a for-profit corporation sustained by advertising to and (non-deductible) contributions from its members. 

Here’s a sneak peek at our priorities for next year so you can see what your contribution would be supporting:

• We'll be rolling out Daily Kos 5 in the first half of the year, and it'll blow you away. It’s a huge investment in our community that will feature a streamlined look and dramatically better publishing experience, new features, better social media integration and added functionality to the mobile site.
• We'll be working to get Nancy Pelosi her gavel back and keep the Senate. And as bonus, we’ll be fighting to get rid of Mitch McConnell. (We raised an astonishing $1.6 million for candidates in 2013—and it wasn’t even an election year for most of the country. We’re going to blow that away in 2014.)
• We’ll continue to provide the news coverage that makes Daily Kos the go-to place for progressives when big things happen.

This is going to be hard work. It’s also going to be expensive.

Daily Kos has over five million unique readers every month and an operating budget of just $2.5 million. We could fund operations for two years if every reader chipped in just one dollar, but we all know that not everyone is in a position to do that—especially after the holidays.

So, I’ll ask again: If you’re fortunate enough to be in a position to give after the holidays, could you chip in just $5 a month to keep Daily Kos going through the 2014 election?

I wonder if the folks at Public Citizen will ever put the Daily Kos or Kos Media, LLC, in their list of corporations ruining the electoral process by funneling "unlimited" monies to candidates?

According to Wikipedia, during the 2004 U.S. election campaign, Daily Kos readers gave approximately $500,000 in user donations to fifteen Democratic candidates denoted as most needing funds and that Daily Kos led a fundraising campaign again in the 2006 midterm election campaign in conjunction with MyDD and State Project. This time around, they raised over $1.4 million for 17 "Netroots Candidates,"
