The Pen To Me Today at 8:44 AM Dear Friends and Activists, As we continue to make strides towards overturning the Citizens United decision by constitutional amendment, we are fully supporting the parallel intitative to pass the CA Disclose Act, SB 52, led by the Clean Money people. We echo their message as follows: ****** This is a huge year in the fight against Citizens United. Tens of thousands of faxes, petitions, and phone calls from people like you helped get the legislature to pass SB 1272 and put Proposition 49 on the ballot, so Californians will have the opportunity this November to tell Congress to pass a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United. Now theres another crucial bill in the fight against Big Money inpolitics coming up for its final votes in the California legislature: SB 52, the California DISCLOSE Act -- the bill to make political ads show who REALLY pays for them. Sign the Petition for SB 52: https://credomobilize/p/sb52 The California DISCLOSE Act is essential to our democracy because it can take effect right away, even before a constitutional amendment is proposed and ratified by all the states. What does the unlimited money unleashed by Citizens United do? It buys hundreds of millions of dollars worth of political ads that deceive voters while hiding who really pays for them in fine print behind misleading names. Thats why SB 52 is so important. It will require ballot measure ads in California to clearly and prominently disclose their three largest REAL funders, the actual corporations, unions, or millionaires that paid for the ads, right on the ads themselves SB 52 will require funders be disclosed on the bottom third of the TV screen for a full five seconds, so viewers cant miss them. They must be displayed in a big contrasting font on a solid black background. No more misleading fine print that effectively lies to voters aboutwho is behind them. Thats why more than 350 organizations and leaders endorse SB 52. It is authored by Senators Mark Leno and Jerry Hill and sponsored by the California Clean Money Campaign. Were close to winning, but the opposition from those who want to hide is fierce, so please sign the petition and then ask your friends to sign now! Sign the Petition for SB 52: https://credomobilize/p/sb52 Weve made a huge difference by helping get the legislature to put the Overturn Citizens United Act on the ballot as Prop 49. Now lets make sure they stop billionaires and others from deceiving voters about who pays for ballot measure ads by passing SB 52. You may forward this message to any friends who would find it
