Full disclosure is a joke. So many 501 organizations never file, go out of business, or file after elections that there is virtually no disclosure at all.

I think that full and TIMELY disclosure should be the order of the day with regard to all lobbyists and political organizations. It's only right.

I agree.

But those who want conservatives to unilaterally disarm are nuts.

Folks have to play the game by the rules as they exist, not by the rules as partisan critics might want them to be.

I don't care what the 501s report, it is what the congresscritters report. Whenever they receive money, post the details on a special website.
