No More Hold Ups

The Baltimore Sun joins in in calling out Sen. Mitch McConnell and his fellow obstructors for standing in the way of a bill to require Senators to file campaign finance disclosure forms electronically. Electronic disclosure would be a fast, inexpensive way to give voters better access to information about who was giving how much to their Senators (and whether they were getting anything in return).

 

Enough with the anonymous hold games! Get the bill to the floor and vote on on it. If you're so reluctant to disclose who your getting money from in a format your constituents would have better access to, maybe you should reconsider who you're taking donations from rather than trying to pull the blinds on the voters.
