U.S. Senate Monday July 16 Disclose ACT

Please note: On Monday, the Senate will hold a cloture vote on the DISCLOSE ACT -- which would require all sources of political funding be disclosed. No more corporations, Wall Street banks, and billionaires hiding behind the allegedly non-profit and non-partisan Chamber of Commerce, or Karl Rove's conglomerate of non-profits, or the string of Koch-brothers political fronts.

Tell your senator you have a right to know who's buying our democracy. Organize and mobilize others to do the same.


Here is a list of Senators:

Senate Republicans blocked the DISCLOSE ACT. No surprise there, but they should be held accountable. They're making a mockery of our democracy, once again. Their logic? That required disclosure of the names of wealthy or corporate political donors might cause them to be intimidated, and therefore infringe on their First Amendment rights. I don't know many billionaires who intimidate easily, especially when it comes to making large political contributions. And I've never heard of an intimidated corporation.
