The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to sole proprietorships.
(b) Nothing in this paragraph shall prohibit the establishment, by any union or organization that is subject to subparagraph II(a), of a political committee that operates independently of such union or organization, provided the committee's expenditures and contributions are made through a separate, segregated fund consisting only of voluntary contributions solicited from individuals who are employees, officers, shareholders, directors, partners, or members of such union or organization.
