Sign the petition to the U.S. Senate: Sunlight is the best disinfectant. Pass the DISCLOSE Act.
Wealthy special interests and big-money donors hold too much power, and they use political loopholes to hide their spending on lobbying, elections, and judicial confirmation hearings. Despite anonymous donors' outsized influence in our political system, the American public doesn't know who they are, where the money comes from, or how much they're spending to upend democracy.
The DISCLOSE Act (S.443) would stop anonymous spending in our elections by requiring entities trying to influence our elections to disclose their major political donors. It would also increase transparency on political advertisements by requiring disclosure of major donors who underwrite advertisements supporting or attacking judicial nominees.
Overwhelming majorities support requiring super PACs and dark money groups to make their donors public; making nearly all political contributions fully transparent; providing more transparency into lobbyist fundraising; prohibiting political candidates from benefiting from unlimited secret corporate money to boost their campaigns; and requiring organizations engaged in political activity to disclose their large donors.
Sunlight is the best disinfectant, and it's time to clean up our democracy. The DISCLOSE Act of 2021 would help restore transparency and accountability to our political system. Demand your U.S. senators support it today.
