The [[Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act|McCain–Feingold campaign finance reform legislation]], which went into effect in 2002, allows political parties to raise larger amounts of "hard money" contributions, but bans unlimited "[[Campaign finance in the United States#"Soft" money/Independent expenditure|soft money]]" contributions to the national political parties and prohibits federal officeholders from soliciting soft money.<ref>{{cite web |title=Glossary of Terms: Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 (BCRA) |url=https://www.opensecrets.org/resources/learn/glossary.php| publisher=[[OpenSecrets]]}}</ref> MoveOn, like many other political organizations which sought to influence the 2004 election, was able to circumvent this legislation using a [[527 group]], which became inactive in 2005 and closed in 2008.<ref>Johnson, Sasha (June 20, 2008).
