Two Critical Pieces of Legislation Will Be Introduced In Congress This Week

Democrat Chris Van Hollen in the House plans to introduce an updated version of the DISCLOSE Act forcing corporate entities behind SuperPAC ads to disclose who they are. A version of this legislation passed the House in 2010 – but died in the Senate because of a Republican filibuster. Considering we’re on the verge of a billion-dollar election – this is much-needed legislation to bring at least a little bit of transparency to the sell-off of our democracy. Also – Democratic Senator Al Franken is teaming up with Tea Party Congressman Jeff Landry in the House to introduce legislation to strip out the controversial “indefinite detainee” provision in the Defense Authorization Act passed by Congress and recently signed by the President. Thankfully for the United States – upholding Constitutional freedoms is becoming a bipartisan issue. Call Congress and tell them to pass these two key pieces of legislation.
