Unfortunate that the GOP has blocked debate on the #DISCLOSEVote. It’s way past time to shine a light on the dark money polluting elections. — PolitiTweet.org

"Republicans are in favor of disclosure." said McConnell in 2000. His new 1st amendment argument is clearly just an excuse. #capafdisclose — PolitiTweet.org

DISCLOSE Act does not favor unions. It's a short bill. Read it. All donations treated the same, regardless of source. #capafdisclose — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

RT @tomperriello: Some claim DISCLOSE act favors unions over other groups. Is there any truth to that? #capafDISCLOSE — PolitiTweet.org
