A new message from your friends at People For the American Way.

***********************
The 2010 Supreme Court Citizens United ruling gave corporations and
wealthy donors unlimited spending power to support or oppose political
candidates through super PACS, independent expenditures, and secret money
groups. The result is a system in which the ultra-wealthy can sway entire
elections, dictate the policy agenda and dominate the political landscape
with little to no accountability or transparency. The DISCLOSE Act, which
was recently reintroduced into the Congress, takes a number of steps to
ensure the disclosure of secret money spending in order to help create
greater accountability in our democracy and put the power back in the
hands of voters.

We can’t afford to let secret money influence the 2020 election!

important bill>>

Among many of its provisions, the DISCLOSE Act seeks to undo the harm
incurred by Citizens United by requiring organizations spending money in
elections – including super PACS and certain nonprofit groups – to
disclose donations of $10,000 or more during an election cycle. It closes
loopholes, like preventing political operatives from using layers of shell
corporations and front groups to hide donor identities, and protects
against foreign influence in American elections by prohibiting domestic
corporations with significant foreign control, ownership or direction from
spending money in U.S. elections.

We must build support for these reforms in Congress and educate the
country about how these policies can help fix our broken system.

legislation!

Thanks for everything you do.
