'''Dark money''' consists of the hundreds of millions of dollars that flows secretly, from undisclosed sources, into organizations in order to influence policy and elections. Some of the biggest advocates and donors of dark money are [[Arabella Advisors]], the [[Koch brothers]] and [[George Soros]]. The Most dark money is [[liberal]], but the [[Koch network]] is a web of dark money that bullies [[conservative]] candidates into backing bad ideas, and into opposing [[American]] [[sovereignty]].
The case of ''NAACP v. Alabama'' in the [[Bull Connor]]-era granted anonymous protection of donors from retaliation by the state. The [[U.S. Supreme Court]] decision in ''[[Citizens United]]'' increased the influence of dark money. [[Phyllis Schlafly]] opposed the influence of dark money in politics.
