What is the equal time Rule?
The equal-time rule specifies that U.S. radio and television broadcast stations must provide an equivalent opportunity to any opposing political candidates who request it. This means, for example, that if a station gives one free minute to a candidate on the prime time, it must do the same for another candidate.

What are two loopholes that exist in current campaign finance laws?
The limitations on donations to candidates are circumvented by the unlimited donations that can be collected by a Political Action Committee or PAC. A PAC can then spend that amount without limitation on support for that candidate, as long as the candidate is not seen to "coordinate" or direct that expenditure.PACs are obliged to make a full disclosure of their donors and of the way in which they have spent the donations money. This was however later circumvented by a court ruling that this can only apply to that part of the expenditure made for "expressly advocating the election or defeat of a clearly identified candidate".

What is the difference between a political action committee and a 527?
First of all a 527 organization seems to be a more broad definition, because a PAC is a form of a 527 organization. Also a PAC has more regulations from the government about the amount of money spent per candidate per election and things of that nature, while from my research I could not really find the same stipulations for just a basic 527 organization. Another thing that makes the two different is that the money from a PAC goes directly to the candidates while money from a 527 organization does not go directly go directly to the candidate.
The long ballot is a handicap because the voters cannot possibly learn enough about the candidates for all offices to vote intelligently?
False. In this age of Google and DuckDuckGo, it's easy to find what any candidate believes, or claims to. (NO amount of research will be able to determine if any candidate might change his mind, or be bribed, or otherwise persuaded to vote counter to his stated positions.)
