IRS won't require NRA, other groups to disclose donors to tax officials

[*PhilHos*]

I don't understand how a foreign "entity" is capable of influencing our elections if they're giving money to established groups. Say Russia gives a billion dollars to the NRA. How is that influening our elections? It's not like the NRA isn't already doing what it can to effect public policy. Giving them more money isn't going to make them all that more effective than they already are - it's not like their issues have to do with funding or the lack thereof.
