By a vote of 219 to 206, lawmakers approved the Disclose Act, intended to partially fill a void created when the Supreme Court overturned some campaign spending rules in January.

Methinks the Dems have a Love-Hate thing going on with this country and the Constitution.
219 liked it so it passed.
Has the Senate voted on this yet?
Uhh, and what was the USSC`s Citizens United decision about !?
Democrat/Totalitarian party, “ the law is whatever comes out of our mouths”
We are planning on removing the anti-free speech crowd from the House this Fall though.
Me wonders if McCain will vote this down to prove he has conservative credentials.
Sadly, I believe this will be rammed through in the lame duck congress between November and December. It will rear its ugly head again and my spidy senses are telling me that the House will keep voting on sh*t like this so the lame duck senators can slam it through. I hope that the GOP gets some brass ones between now and then.
>> disclosure exemptions added to appease the National Rifle Association .
Is this an issue to begin with - hiding one’s affiliation with the NRA?
I’m disappointed that the NRA decided to support this POS legislation. They need to look at the big picture and not be so narrow minded. They have lost me until they shape up. They are acting like RINOs.
No you are wrong, it’s strictly HATE. They will only like it when we are like Cuba under communism.
He cannot possibley be that dumb. Can he?
Still got to get pass the Senate.....don’t think it is happening...I hope not anyhow.
