Except that's not how they implemented it. Somehow organizing grants you EXTRA rights over being an individual. Suddenly you get an avenue to get around personal contribution limits, on top of retaining your original personal contributions allowance...

    They who? Implemented what?

    There never were individual limits on political speech.

    There were and still are.

    You, as an individual, right now, have a limit on how much money you can donate to a political campaign.

    An organization is able to bypass that by spending that money directly in support of the campaign, but not directly giving it to them. Thus granting the organization's owners more political power than they had as an individual.
