The draft AO in Commonsense Ten just was posted, and comments are due by tomorrow at 5 pm. (See also the Club for GrowthAO, which also was just posted, and the Walther alternative.)
If this AO passes, as it apparently will without even a meeting or public discussion, it is going to make it much more likely that the public will be unaware of the identity of corporate and union backers of campaign ads. A new disclosure regime is therefore essential, whether it comes through the DISCLOSE Act or otherwise. I said when CU was decided that a few more dominoes had to fall before I’d expect a flood of new money into elections. This is one big domino.
UPDATE: I explain more about why we need better disclosure, and the kind of disclosure we need, here.
