DISCLOSE Act or Disguise Act?

House Administration Committee Ranking Republican Dan Lungren, R-Calif., details the manner in which House Democrats crafted the DISCLOSE Act (H.R. 5175) behind closed doors without bipartisan input. The final version of the bill was not unveiled until 2 hours before consideration before the Rules Committee, after numerous exceptions were inserted to benefit unions and particular special interests. While the Rules Committee limited debate on the Floor of the House to one hour, the Congress has spent over ten hours "ridding the world of the scourge of unnamed post offices."
