ACTION ALERT - STOP HR 5175 - The DISCLOSE Act

[jgehb]

I would like to know why the president has exempted UNIONS? They put alot of money into the pockets of Mr. Obama and his party for re-election, but that couldn't be the reason for exemption ... yeah right.

[jgehb]

No worries ... we have a president who blatantly goes outside the boundaries accorded him by the Constitution by issuing executive orders to get his way when it cannot be accomplished constitutionally through the branches (LEGISLATIVE) of our government. This has been the ongoing behavior of Mr. Obama ... take matters into his own hands to do what he wants and be damned to the Constitution. He knows what he is doing ... it is pure corruption and he should be impeached.

wtf weith the song ?

[FreeMattC81]

All of you that think this is about transparancy are either dense, blind, or just plain stupid. This bill is about silencing conservative groups during election time, silencing opposition to Obama during elections. Why do you think labor unions are expempt? because they support democrats thats why. The NRA is exempt as a bribe for them to back off. This is all about protecting democrat incumbants in November not transparancy. The bill is unconstitutional and must be stopped.

[energyparticle]

Maybe there is something I missing, but most of this bill I agree with. Will have to do more research. I have always supported public campaign financing, it is how we ran Ron Paul's campaign in 08.

[edmctigue]

Doesn't having the link on the web site let me go and see who it is that is actually paying for that misleading ad?

[flintstone9812]

As for the NRA, they hate the bill but they wanted to see to it they would have the right to do advertising prior to the November election. Why is that so important? By the provisions of the original bill, the NRA would have to list every member and that would place them on a list of confirmed gun owners. The government, and others who might harass gun owners, has no business knowing who has guns. Without the exclusion the NRA would have been betraying the anonymity of its members.

[flintstone9812]

At first I thought this was going to be a good thing. Preventing large, wealthy corps. and individuals from "buying" an election by saturation advertising.

I still can't figure why someone would spend millions of dollars to win a job that only pays a $100,000 per year.

But anything that makes it easier for government officials to monitor opponents is BAD NEWS.

[noyouaintgettingit]

Don't get me wrong though Nancy Pelosi is a bitch and a hypocrite and a liar

[noyouaintgettingit]

I'm not against free speech, however, I'm all for it and I believe firmly and strongly in freedom of speech, and the less bureaucracy the better....... but I do see a need to see if politicians like Barry Soetoro is getting funding from Goldman Sachs or BP, isn't that good information to know? I'm against the government taking blood samples of babies at birth though, I'm against inhumane invasions of privacy...I'm against authoritarian rule.... but I believe government should be transparent

[noyouaintgettingit]

I do see the need for limited government and less meddling in our personal affairs as long as we aren't harming others. But I do see a need to divorce corporatism from politicism.

[noyouaintgettingit]

I'm sorry, but I'd like to know if candidates I vote for get funding from the Rockefellers or DuPonts, or if they get funding from Planned Parenthood. So how exactly is it a bad thing to know who is putting money into a politician's pocket? I'm more of a Libertarian myself, and I think policing should be up to the people, but at the same time, I think some necessary steps need to be taken to keep Oligarchy out of government. Don't get me wrong I'm not for an overly large government.

Co-Sign.

[Parrotletmommy]

Good heavens, such wording. Any bill written that way should be voted against. Holy cow, how complicated!

[veradinx]

Leave it to the NRA to cut a deal so they're exempt from tyranny. If Charleton Heston were alive he'd condemn the entire board of directors of the NRA as traitors to the American people and the Constitution.

Without their exclusion, the NRA would have to list every member and that would place them on a list of confirmed gun owners. The government, and others who might harass gun owners, has no business knowing who has guns. It might have meant NO pro gun groups could place political ads.

American Citizens will not be intimidated by you tyrannical, First Amendment robbing "public servants". Your "speech licenses" will be ignored. The people have ways of communicating at the grass roots level and we will defeat you.

Defy the recent Supreme Court ruling and our Constitution at your own peril you lawless, rogue, radicals. Chuck Schumer introduced this shit bill that will allow selective speech.

Mike Castle, Republican of Delaware voted for this bill, so toss his sorry ass out.

[zepper72]

The liberals have had a problem with the Constitution for many years now. What it is about "Congress shall make no law" they don't understand is anyone's guess but this bill, which even in the unlikely event it passes the Senate won't stop the well-deserved tsunami against them in November.

[MrXfromPlanetX]

There has been a real problem with phony grassroots advocacy

groups cropping up like "The Club for Growth." They claim they are a

nonprofit, but what corporation is really donating to them? Lou Dobbs pointed out corporations are doing this. This may be one reason why he was taken off CNN.

The Tea Party Express is funded by Dick Armey's corporate lobbying group and has nothing to do with Ron Paul. We do need some really clear disclosure on stuff like this so people don't get conned.

[BYThePeople2008]

This bill should really be called the "Establishment Protection Act" and it is really bad and be a real blow for freedom of speech. The fact is that groups of 1 million members that have been in existence for more than 10 years, have members in all 50 states and raise 15 percent or less of their funds from corporations are exempt from this legislation. This will force organizations like Campaign for Liberty to turn over the names of their "top" donors for exercising their First Amendment rights.

[spmcintyre]

On the surface it would seem to be a tool to shut us up, however, it would equally require the Progressives to disclose their own affiliations and supporters. However, we know from passed experience, they seldom follow the same set of rules and laws they expect us lowly Conservatives to follow. You know, the serfs have their own laws and the aristocracy can pick and choose what laws they have to be held to.

[MrXfromPlanetX]

@spmcintyre Are you following Glenn Beck's definition of a Progressive? Many people consider Audit the Fed Bernie Sanders to be a Progressive. He's actually a Socialist. Dennis Kucinich is considered Progressive. So is Glenn Greenwald. It's not good to carelessly throw labels around that mean something entirely different to people other than Glenn Beck fans.

[DoctorOblivion1]

Very well done! Thank you!

[hamletundone]

done

[ICEMAN3rdID]

I would like to know who is contributing to the Republican and Democratic Parties. I dont know if more transparencies are bad. I mean, isnt it the commies that have secret lists of party members and what not? Just a question If you would like to clarify. Not trying to make a big deal about this.
