[ [link removed] ]Overturn Citizens United! Sign the petition>>

PFAW Member,

Social media and online companies have failed to provide adequate
transparency for users around political advertising on their platforms.

Russian interference in the 2016 election demonstrates the need to improve
transparency for online political ads as a way to bolster election
security. Russia spread disinformation online through social media
platforms like Facebook because they reached millions of Americans,
cheaply.

[ [link removed] ]Tell Congress to act now to protect our elections from dishonest
advertising!>>

The Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 requires political
advertisements on television, radio, and satellite to disclose the sponsor
of the advertisement. The same requirements should apply online.

The Honest Ads Act, introduced by Senators Mark Warner and Amy Klobuchar,
aimed at countering foreign interference in our elections, would achieve
this goal. It would require platforms to disclose the purchasers of ads,
applying the same rules that exist for TV and radio.

We must demand Congress ensure the requirement for more transparency
around online ad purchases is in place. We must protect the security of
our elections!

[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition: demand Congress pass the Honest Ads Act and require
transparency for political ads>>

Thank you,

- Zach, PFAW
