Please take a moment to go to "We want the DISCLOSE Act (https://www.discloseact.com/)" and sign the petition to "Co-sponsor the DISCLOSE Act".
The DISCLOSE Act legislation will address seven major points:
1. Enhance Disclaimers
Make CEOs and other leaders take responsibility for their
ads.
2. Enhance Disclosures
It is time to follow the money.
3. Prevent Foreign Influence
Foreign countries and entities should not be determining the
outcome of our elections.
4. Shareholder/Member Disclosure
We should allow shareholders and members to know where
money goes.
5. Prevent Government Contractors from Spending
Taxpayer money should not be spent on political ads.
6. Provide the Lowest Unit Rate for Candidates and Parties
Special interests should not drown out the voices of the
people
7. Tighten Coordination Rules
Corporations should not be able to “sponsor” a candidate.
This may be the most important political issue of the new millennium. IMHO corporations had too much political power before the "Citizens United" case. I believe this is something people who are conservative, moderate or liberal can agree on. I welcome discussion on any points you disagree with.
Corporations must not be granted all the rights of an American citizen. We see how they abuse their power; lying to congress (BP, Chevron, tobacco), not paying taxes, etc.
I will be communicating with Rep. Lynn Woolsey this week asking her to co-sponsor this bill.
Please share this with your friends and family if you believe it is important.
"Congress must limit the damage done by the Supreme Court's misguided Citizens United v. FEC decision and combat the new, unregulated corporate influence over elections by passing the DISCLOSE Act." -- We want the DISCLOSE Act (https://www.discloseact.com/)
Thanks for all you do,
Gary G.
