The Democrats’ DISCLOSE Act requires:

Among other things, an organization’s donors are presumed to support its political ads unless they specify otherwise, so their names must be reported to the government, raising the possibility of bullying or retaliation by politicians.

Why does the government need to know who donated to an organization? Why should organizations be required to give their donors names?

And:

Even when corporations are allowed to speak, any communication that mentions a candidate during the covered period, including online material, could expose them to investigation by the Federal Election Commission (FEC) for unauthorized “coordination” with a political campaign.

Change we can believe in.
