Secretive Right-Wing Plutocrats Use Front Groups To Attack New Campaign Finance Disclosure Bill
Secretive Right-Wing Plutocrats Use Front Groups To Attack New Campaign Finance Disclosure Bill
On Thursday, Senate Democrats, along with Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) and Rep. Mike Castle (R-DE), unveiled sweeping campaign finance reform aimed at curbing campaign abuses in the wake of the conservative Citizens United decision by the Supreme Court, which struck down decades of campaign finance law. The main focus of the DISCLOSE Act (Democracy is Strengthened by Casting Light on Spending in Elections) is to increase disclosure requirements on corporations, labor unions, trade associations, and nonprofit advocacy groups that spend money on ads to influence federal elections. The DISCLOSE Act forces the CEO of a corporation or head of an advocacy group to personally appear in the organization’s ads and take responsibility, and for the top funder of the ad to appear in the ad and take responsibility.
The status quo of electioneering allows corporate powers, billionaires, and even domestic subsidiaries of foreign corporations to essentially manipulate American elections without ever revealing themselves. The DISCLOSE Act is a tremendous start at addressing this crisis of open democracy. But predictably, secretive right-wing power brokers are pushing back. As soon as Van Hollen’s bill was introduced, front groups funded by the most elusive conservative elite fired back, swiftly criticizing the new transparency requirements as a so-called threat to their First Amendment rights:
– U.S. Chamber of Commerce: The DISCLOSE Act “stifles free speech.” Chamber President Tom Donohue quickly issued a statement condemning the bill as an attempt to “silence constitutionally protected speech and abridge First Amendment rights.” Donohue may feel threatened because the DISCLOSE Act undermines the very purpose of the Chamber: to attack progressive reforms while concealing the corporate money behind those attacks. For instance, the Chamber is running millions of dollars of ads against Wall Street reform, but the ads only say they are paid for by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. In fact, some of the nation’s largest financial conglomerates, including banks bailed out by taxpayers like CitiGroup, are funding the Chamber and in doing so, are underwriting these ads. Last year, the Chamber ran nearly $100 million dollars in advertising against health reform, dwarfing any other group for or against the bills in Congress. However, the Chamber never revealed that health insurance companies were secretly paying for much of those ads.
– Howie Rich’s Front Group: The DISCLOSE Act is “disclosure overkill.” The Center for Competitive Politics, one of real estate tycoon Howie Rich’s many anti-government front groups, quickly slammed the bill and absurdly argued that the “stand by your ad” mandate “provid[es] no informational benefit and reduc[es] the amount of available political speech” in an ad. This laughable claim that more disclosure gives less information is a cynical cover to help Rich stay behind closed doors as he operates a massive political machine from the perch of his SoHo apartment. Rich funds the right-wing attack group, Club for Growth, as well as the Sam Adams Alliance, the libertarian group that helped Eric Odom mastermind the very first tea party protests. A PBS expose on Rich found that he had funneled $7 million dollars into anti-government state initiatives throughout the country, while carefully hiding his identity and relationship to the “movement.”
– David and Charles Koch’s Front Group: The DISCLOSE Act is a “gambit to chill speech.” John Samples, a staffer at the Cato Institute — an anti-government think-tank founded by Charles Koch and funded still by David Koch — wrote an op-ed decrying the bill for curbing the speech of foreign-owned companies and for exposing the corporate backers of ads. David Koch funds Americans for Prosperity, which runs millions of dollars of attack ads against clean energy and health reform. But Americans for Prosperity bills itself as a grassroots citizens group, and never reveals that the Kochs founded the group and continues to finance it. The Koch brothers also fund a network of other secretive front groups and think tanks, but almost none of these right-wing groups openly bare the Koch name.
Notably, the Cato Institute, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Center for Competitive Politics filed amicus briefs to the Supreme Court to help knock down campaign finance laws in the Citizens United case.
The legislation also bars foreign corporations with domestic subsidiaries, federal contractors, and TARP recipients who have not repaid their funds from spending their money on politics.

The American voters simply must start paying attention to the fake front groups. The GOP uses our laziness to cover for a variety of bad legislation and racist ‘movement conservatives’. It should be the same idea about looking at the food labels in the store. Read the details. Who funds them? Where does the money come from? Where does the money go? Who are those guys? What do they want? What have they done in the past? Who do they meet and visit with? When we find out what (or who) is behind the GOP power grab, we can target their message – and crush it.

We need every possible bit of disclosure. There is no such thing as disclosure overkill. Bill Maher said it last night… you cannot have a Democracy with and Oligarchy, and that is what we are suffering with now. They own and control everything, and their only goal is to show a maximizing of value to themselves and their stockholders. They are the big dogs, we are the fire hydrants.
May 1st, 2010 at 1:13 pmU.S. Chamber of Commerce: The DISCLOSE Act “stifles free speech.
Free speech but only for those who can afford it
May 1st, 2010 at 1:14 pmFree speech is public speech. There is no expectation of privacy when you air your views. There never has been. The Founding Fathers did not make anonymous statements behind layers of front groups; they signed their names to their statements. To admit who you are when you say what you believe stifles nothing that the First Amendment protects.

Disclosure: I am older than dirt, so I visit the AARP blogs.
Two days ago, an individual complained about MoveON.org, complaining about Sorus and then turned around yesterday and cried about this “taking away Free Speech”. So I responded with you don’t get it both ways…you are either for or against TRANSPARENCY – which the right says the WH isn’t transparent enough….
Whodathunkit…the right essentially is saying they want “Selective Transparency”, which is BS and we need to call them out. IMO, DISCLOSE is a great bill! Afterall, if someone is FOR something, why are they afraid to have their NAME or Company Name associated with it????

May 1st, 2010 at 1:22 pmI think 55 is the IQ of the poster – not their screen name.
Nitpicking various unconnected meetings or gatherings is a GOP tactic – “Yeah, but they do it too!”. Of course that is all BS, but when you have both feet firmly planted in the cesspool of Movement Conservatism, there is nowhere to go but down….
The GOP must either stand with the American Voter, or become extinct.

The WingNuts keep going on about George Soros EXPANDING democracy by bring MORE people into OUR election process, and here we have two Billionaires in the Koch Brothers looking to stiffel the voices of “We the People” in favor of “We the Multinational Corporations“. These people make me sick.
I have taken to countering the WingNUTS use of “Soros” as a pejorative with “Koch” EVERYTIME I see it.

I think the disclosure bill should apply to everybody. You’re apparently supporting those who are anonymously attacking it, while complaining that left wing pac’s exist. Or at least, you refuse to address whether the bill is a good idea, and are just using this page to make blind and irrelevant partisan attacks. None of the left wing groups have criticized this bill. The right wing groups have. And you seem to object to us pointing that out. We’re not the hypocrites here. You are.

If they’re republican groups they’re “front groups.” If they’re democrat groups they’re “think tanks.” Now, I get it.
Not at all. The CATO institute is certainly a think tank. Many others are as well, on both sides.
We usually use “front group” to refer to groups that appear to be formed by people of a like political persuasion that are actually formed in order to serve the short term interest of some corporate industry. Many, many examples of such have been exposed here at TP. If the group had to say who was backing them, then people could have the information to decide whether that group actually believed what they said or were merely trying to manipulate others into believing it.
The bill would apply to both sides, by the way.
Do you support that or oppose it?

Just as Freedom of Religion has the corollary of Freedom from Religion, it is also true that Freedom of Speech means everyone has the right of knowing who is speeching. As far as I know, the Constitution has no wording that says anything about the right to anonymity.

If he explained it, it wouldn’t be funny. Also, if he explained it, he couldn’t use the excuse of it being “a joke” anymore. He learned that from Billo.

May 1st, 2010 at 3:53 pmOh, come on, ElBruce. Do you demand that a five-year-old step up from “knock knock” jokes?
We have to be accepting of fuzzy for what he’s capable of achieving. Just accept that it’s a joke, laugh patronizingly, and fuzzy will never know the difference. It will help his self-esteem.

May 1st, 2010 at 5:17 pmNASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Police were called to the home of country musician John Rich when neighbors complained about the noise from a night video shoot that used fireworks and a helicopter.
Police spokeswoman Kristin Mumford told The Tennessean that officers went to Rich’s Nashville home twice after neighbors reported a raucous party.
Mumford said there were no citations issued but Rich’s security crew was asked to keep the noise down.
Warner Music Nashville spokeswoman Tree Paine said the filming was done with the proper permits.
Rich’s neighbors have complained before about the large, ultramodern home the singer calls Mount Richmore.
The newspaper reports that a sign on his gate warns people to keep out and adds, “Violators may be shot. Protected by the 2nd Amendment.”

Pinal County Sheriff’s Lt. Tamatha Villar said Saturday morning that three of those in custody match the description given by the deputy to investigators at the scene. They are now being interviewed by investigators.
According to Villar, the deputy, 53-year-old Louie Puroll, was patrolling the desert alone when he found bales of marijuana and was confronted by five suspected undocumented immigrants around 4:30 p.m. Two were apparently armed with rifles.

A postive march for helping people.
And the only channel to cover it is Univision.
BUT…put a couple of White Supremists doing the Goose-Step and the MSM is all over that.
There is something wrong in this country.
May 1st, 2010 at 5:55 pmIt is interesting that the trolls seem to think that disagreement with draconian measures by local police equals an agreement that illegal immigration is acceptable. Mexicans wouldn’t be coming into the US illegally unless they had some reason to do so. One reason may involve illegal drug trade. I would guess the more predominant reason is there are people and/or companies that will employ them in violation of US law.

As far as I can tell he is all upset because his parents pool boy, Felipe stole his girlfriend away.
Hooda, it’s a simple question of unequal pressures.
The dramatic gulf between the rich and poor in Mexico makes it worth the risks for the poor to struggle to come here and earn money.
There are no simple answers to this problem. Ending the War of Drugs would be a positive step, as you note, but a small step.
Economic reform in Mexico would be a good start, but it’s not going to happen. The ironic thing is, the Mexican economy is structured much like plutocrats like David Koch would like to see the US economy structured, with the rich controlling the economy and the government, and the poor left to serve the rich and scramble for whatever scraps happen to fall off the table.
Without a viable middle class, there is no domestic purchasing power. And without well-paying jobs, there is no viable middle class.
Yet this is what the David Kochs of the world appear to want.

————————————
And a bit farther down the road, once Latin America attains the prosperity its natural and human resources portend, the problem will reverse as white gringo USians will be trying to sneak on southward in the hope of finding a way to earn a meager living. Of course, they’ll have to suffer problems of racial profiling because of their skin tone and their inability to speak the local language (either Portuguese or Spanish), but who knows, maybe the locals will go easy on them.

May 1st, 2010 at 6:36 pmB$R obviously only likes the constitution ONLY when he and his kind can twist it to fit their treasonous agenda, much in the same way these same people twist bible scripture to fit their agenda.

Why didn’t the republicans do something about immigration reform when they held the majority in both the house and senate and held the presidency?
Oh wait, George W. Bush actually tried to act on immigration reform but the republican majority said no.
I guess they don’t want to offend their buddies who enjoy the cheap labor so much.

Go down to Mexico and get in a fender-bender and let us know how long you were jailed when and if you ever get out, ok
…don’t care about Mexico.
I care about here…and what is going on in AZ is wrong.
FOAD
Oh ya…BOO!
May 1st, 2010 at 6:41 pmB$R have you ever personally gotten into a fender-bender down in Mexico? If not than you don’t know what the phuck you are talking about and sound just like the idiots who spoke poorly about Canada’s and Europe’s health care system during the health care reform debate.
Epic Fail!
May 1st, 2010 at 6:43 pmlucky for Mr. Rich that money and lawyers prevented Nashville authorities from finding the drugs and guns at his little hoe-down.
noble stuff, sticking up for privilege over justice, B$R. you’d have made a helluva british loyalist back in the day.
real americans stand for equal justice under the law.
May 1st, 2010 at 6:44 pmbut who will convince mexico’s ruling class that imitating america’s republicans is a bad idea?
May 1st, 2010 at 6:45 pmJeb Bush and Lou Dobbs have Mexican born wives. I hope they don’t travel to Arizona and get arrested for looking illegal.

Come on B$R you are getting paid by the post, you better start copying and pasting more right wing rhetoric in regards to Arizona’s unconstitutional law.

B$R,
When will you stop Mark Koldys and Eric Odom from repeatedly plowing your back 40?
May 1st, 2010 at 6:53 pmYou know what is totally phucking awesome?
This unconstitutional law is tearing apart the republican party and the teabaggers!
BAH-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!
This will be one more reason why America will not vote for the republicans in 2010 and 2012!
Keep up the good work racist, radical right wing extremists!
You are the gift that keeps on giving!
No doubt many in the gNOp thought this law would be a brilliant strategic move for their party….but again it has backfired just like their opposition with health care reform, banking reform and immigration reform will!

Equal justice means if I have to follow the laws then immigrants have to follow the law, too.
———–
That’s kind of a broad and racial brush there isn’t it B$. It almost sounds like you are implying that white people never break the law and that all immigrants break the law.
Bush and Cheney broke the law, why aren’t they in prison? The banking and Wall Street fat cats broke the law, why aren’t they in prison? Republican senator David Vitter was busted with a prostitute, why isn’t he in jail?????
May 1st, 2010 at 6:56 pm287 – you’re a wuss, not to mention a poor liar.

Especially the right wing types who come here with military names claiming to be part of militias and armed to the teeth, warning us that they are ready to strike and take their country back.
I’d take them serious if I thought they could step away from the online porn and large bag of Cheetos for more than one day.

Terrible, but not as terrible as her family or Ted did.
Now about Laura Bush killing her former boyfriend in that auto accident after running a stop sign?
May 1st, 2010 at 7:08 pmNo B$ we vote you down for your blatant lies and stupidity. Try a dose of honesty and your comments might last longer than an hour.
May 1st, 2010 at 7:09 pm“Hoe do you feel about Ted Kennedy letting someone drown?”
the same way I feel about laura bush killing her ex-boyfriend and writing about it in her “tell all” bok to make a quick buck.

A lot better than you for having to dig back so far in the past for something that has no relevance.

Hey, he did have a hangover. But yeah I’m sure he felt remorse or sadness unlike George HW. Bush and Barbara Bush who played a round of gulf the day after putting down their mentally retarded daughter, like a dog.
hhmmm i wonder how this recent push to get ronnie raygun on some currency is doing? you know what they say…the 48,923th time’s a charm

no, tardzilla. the “current” part is her doing the ho’stroll trying to sell her shitty book which features her deepest, darkests thought on the matter.

I vote your stupid a$$, retarded, shit-stained, piss-soaked, puke-breath, diaper chomping, boy-touching, bullsh|t licking, stack of house trailers full of extra moist dog sh|t covered in cat-sh|t gravy down everytime.
Reading your crap is a waste of time and space. You are a waste of oxygen.
May 1st, 2010 at 7:40 pmB$R is the best argument yet today as to why our border with Mexico should be opened to free flow northward. Think of it: every time a Mexican arrives in the US, he or she obviously RAISES the average IQ of both countries! In ten years, we may actually have a chance to pull out of our current ignorance-based malaise!
