See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_action_committee#Sup... and https://www.cbsnews.com/news/colbert-gets-a-super-pac-so-wha.... Citizens United (2010) after SpeechNow (2009) created Super-PACs. Prop 8 was on the CA ballot in 2008. So the comment above is technically wrong to use "Super-PAC", which was coined in 2010, but it sounds scarier than PAC. The double standard and special pleading for Google stink.
