A war is being waged against the DISCLOSE Act. Its Commander in Chief is Senator Mitch McConnell, his secret weapon is misinformation and his goal is to protect unlimited dark money contributions to the political process.
How can a growing democracy continue making a more perfect union ... without public awareness?
Does McConnell want a dictatorship? Is that his definition of success?
Here are the myths that McConnell wants.
Myth: Laws Requiring Disclosure Are Unconstitutional
Myth: Disclosure Chills Speech
Myth: Disclosure Limits Freedom of Association
Myth: The DISCLOSE Act Singles Out Unions for Favorable Treatment
Myth: Independent Expenditures Don’t Corrupt the Process
Myth: Current Law Provides Sufficient Disclosure
And finally, here's what McConnell does NOT want discussed.
Fact: Disclosure is a Constitutionally Protected Way to Address Corruption in the Political Process
Is McConnell related to Benedict Arnold? Just in it for himself, and willing to say anything for an adequate payment.
"Disclosure is a Constitutionally Protected Way to Address Corruption in the Political Process"
ReplyDeleteI guess McConnell prefers it to be addressed more like this:
Corruption
