IN YOUR FACE WHOPPERS! LIES THAT STEAL YOUR BASIC FREEDOMS!
Joseph:
On the eve of the DISCLOSE Act vote, the corporate propaganda machine is targeting your senators with lies and smear tactics to try to keep election-season political spending in the shadows.
Help us fight the lies. Tell your senators to vote for the DISCLOSE Act (S.3295).
Right now, we believe the bill is just a few votes shy of the 60 needed for Senate passage.
But corporate front groups that oppose the bill are misleadingly saying it exempts unions and are urging people to tell their senators to vote "no" because, they claim, the bill is unfair to big corporations and Republicans.
This is not true!
The DISCLOSE Act will require election-season political ads to say who funds them - regardless of whether that funding comes from corporations, unions or wealthy individuals.
Tell your senators to support the DISCLOSE Act today! The public should know who is paying for election-season political ads.
Don't let corporate behemoths like BP, Goldman Sachs, Halliburton, Phillip Morris and Monsanto get away with spreading lies to keep political ad sponsorship in the dark.
If they're trying to influence your vote, then you should know who they are.
Use the form on our website to tell your senators to support the DISCLOSE Act. Then, if you have time, please follow up your message with a phone call.
Thanks for all you do.
