This is a CARA Priority Bill, and Single Payer folks think essential to ever being able to get a Single Payer bill passed.  Carol

Email to Pass the
California DISCLOSE Act!    
Your emails are crucial.  Your Assemblymember and legislative leaders need to know that voters demand they pass this real political disclosure bill!  

Email Leaders Now! AB 1648, the California DISCLOSE Act, to be voted on by full Assembly as early as Monday!

Great news! The bill that many people thought was killed by special interests who want to keep hiding when they pay for political ads is still alive - and will be voted on the Assembly floor as soon as tomorrow!

AB 1648, the California DISCLOSE Act, authored by Assemblymember Julia Brownley (D-Oak Park) and sponsored by the California Clean Money Campaign, would stop special interests like Super PACS from deceiving voters about who is behind their ads by requiring all ads for ballot measures and independent expenditures to clearly show their top three funders.  No more hiding behind misleading names.

After a continually-building groundswell of support, Speaker John Pérez, one of 49 co-authors of AB 1648, has just amended the bill from having a 2/3 vote requirement to a bill requiring only a simple majority vote to put the California DISCLOSE Act on the ballot in November 2014.

There are now over 90,000 endorsers of the California DISCLOSE Act - and climbing fast - but the opposition from Big Money special interests is also growing.

Please click here to send a message your Assemblymember and to legislative leaders urging them to do everything they can to pass the California DISCLOSE Act!

Thank you for your commitment to Clean Money and Fair Elections.  Together, we will pass the California DISCLOSE Act as a first step towards Fair Elections and a democracy that is truly of, by, and for the people.

Our success depends upon you, as it always has.

-- Trent, Craig, Jo, Nancy, Robin, and the rest of the California Clean Money Campaign team

P.S. Be sure to forward this message to your friends so they can demand that their Assemblymembers vote Yes on AB 1648, too!
