The NRA and transparency in advertising - Sacramento Opinion - Sacramento Editorial | Sacramento Bee

The NRA and transparency in advertising - Sacramento Opinion - Sacramento Editorial | Sacramento Bee: "Known as the DISCLOSE Act, the legislation is a response to a wrongheaded Supreme Court decision that came down in January allowing corporations to use their treasury funds to sponsor election-related ads. The bill would require corporations, unions, advocacy groups and some nonprofits to disclose the names of their top donors. Also, the top official of those organizations would have to appear in each advertisement and say that he had approved it."
