The Supreme Court actually based part of their reasoning in Citizens United on the idea that there would be disclosure. But I think it's important to distinguish between the right to anonymously write an article or book, and to anonymously promulgate that message. There's definitely a balance that has to be struck here. Why does the right to privacy not apply to political speech? No one wants that, especially in a liberal state. As a SuperPAC, we can run ads calling them out for being cynical on this issue. But politicians are motivated mostly by fear of losing an election. There are already a lot of great groups that are promoting reform. The reason we made this a SuperPAC is pretty simple. California has led on a number of other reform issues in the past. Getting this bill passed in California would help break that cycle of hopelessness, and could kindle a movement that would spread to other states. If you want something, but don't think it can happen, you don't put real pressure on elected officials to change. The biggest problem is that no one thinks that change is possible. It's almost as high among Republicans as Democrats. 84% of americans think that our system for financing elections either needs a complete overhaul or major changes. The good news is that there's almost no reform issue that has such overwhelming support. Well, first off, I'm realistic about how long it's going to take to change money in politics. Ok, happy to answer questions about games, political corruption, or whatever. Or, even better, call his office at (916) 651-4024. If you believe voters deserve to know who's spending millions to influence their vote at the ballot box, take a minute and sign this petition urging Kevin de León and Ricardo Lara to keep the bill strong, and not cave to the pressure of special interests. However, there are rumors that the leader of the Senate, Kevin de León, and the chair of the Appropriations committee, may be caving to pressure from special interests to water the bill down. The bill is on its way to the California Senate floor for consideration. It requires the true, three largest funders of ads about ballot measures or candidates to be shown clearly and unambiguously on the ad. In California, CounterPAC has launched a campaign to support the passage of AB 700, aka the DISCLOSE Act. And yes, it's a little ironic to use a SuperPAC to fight SuperPACs. We're fighting the influence of money in politics. Hi, I started a web games site called Kongregate, and then I used the money I made from that to start a SuperPAC called CounterPAC.
