It's hard to know who is paying for those expensive political ads on TV. Corporations used to be limited in what they could contribute to political campaigns, but in January, the Supreme Court strengthened corporations "grip" on our government and political process with a dangerous ruling, overturning more than 100 years of election law.
Now when you buy toothpaste, the money you spend can be used directly for television ads attacking people that you believe in without you even knowing. But there can be some relief from this unfair ruling. It is called the DISCLOSE Act. Russ Feingold is among the senators who are supporting the DISCLOSE Act, a bill to regulate corporate contributions and force tighter disclosure of corporate spending in the wake of the Supreme Court's ruling.
The DISCLOSE Act came up just one vote short of passing the Senate in July, but it's coming up for another vote in September. Please write to your senators and ask them to vote for the DISCLOSE Act.
