“...if it’s just disclosing where the campaign funding comes from.”
From the article:
“The bill requires that every time an organization runs a campaign ad, its CEO must appear in the ad and twice state his name and the organization’s name. The top five funders of the organization behind the ad – even if they had nothing to do with the ad’s funding – must also have their names listed in the ad.
In addition, the most “significant” donor to the organization must list his name, rank, and organization three times in the ad.
Critics of the bill say that the disclaimers effectively devour valuable airtime bought by these groups that would otherwise be used to inform voters about a candidate’s record.”
“We’re getting a little silly here. We’re talking about making disclaimers that are going to take the entire time of a commercial,” stated Rep. Lungren during debate.”
In the upcoming Nov election most conservative organizations will not much money.
Wouldn’t this effect the dems as well as the republicans?
It is after all, the dems that seem to have all of the unusual campaign contributions. As for the unions - whats to say the republicans cant come up with some “unions” too to counteract this.
It’s not like the dems are supper smart or anything. We should be able to beat them at their own game.
