Require that 501(c)(3) "social welfare organizations" pushing political ads, like Crossroads GPS, disclose their donors.

Created by A.B. on November 14, 2012

The egregious Citizens United ruling by the Supreme Court has opened the floodgates for corporate money and influence to thoroughly corrupt our political process. The evidence has been crystal clear in the election cycles since, particularly through vast amounts of spending by politically oriented so-called "social welfare organizations" like Crossroads GPS. To add insult to injury, these shadowy groups have absolutely no restrictions on how much money they can raise AND no requirement to disclose their donors. So wealthy elites have free reign to influence all levels of elections without ever having anyone know who they fund or how they do so. This will destroy our democracy, allowing a handful of billionaires to decide how the rest of us live. We need to stop this now!
