Tyranny Alert: The "DISCLOSE Act"
June 26, 2010 Leave a comment
Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press….
Mark Levin discusses H.R. 5175, the laughably-named “Democracy is Strengthened by Casting Light on Spending in Elections Act (DISCLOSE ACT)” here (audio).
The Center for Competitive Politics has a good two-page synopsis (.pdf) of the bill, as well as an in-depth analysis (.pdf), here.
Former FEC “Commissioners Joan Aikens, Lee Ann Elliott, Thomas Josefiak, David Mason, Bradley Smith, Hans A. von Spakovsky, Michael Toner and Darryl R. Wold” oppose the bill.
The ACLU opposes the bill.
“The House Democratic majority and the Senate Democratic majority in Congress are clearly trying to tilt the playing field in the middle of the game, racing and rushing to do it.” –U.S. Chamber of Commerce Executive Vice President R. Bruce Josten.
“This legislation is nothing more than an attempt to bring confusion to the political process and to discourage millions of Americans and thousands of organizations from becoming involved in the political debate.” –Congressman Mike Pence, Chairman of the House Republican Conference.
Here are the human weasels who voted to abrogate the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America, in direct violation of their Oath of Office (all but two of them Democrats):
