[GPSCC-chat] California DISCLOSE Act Passes in Assembly Committee

[Brian Good]

The bill would require those who pay for political ads to clearly 
identify themselves--no more hiding behind "Committee for 
Fairness in Taxes".

Trent Lange of CAClean.org reports that the vote in Committee 
was 5-0 with one abstention after 115 DISCLOSE supporters  
packed the hearing room.

He reports that 5 new assemblypersons signed on as co-authors,
and petitions bearing 15,000 signatures were turned over to the 
Speaker.

Thanks to Caroline, Fred, Gloria, Andrea, Rob, Carol and Jules, 
and Dr. Paul Rea for showing up for the rally on Saturday.

Next step, a hearing at the Appropriations Committee, tentatively
scheduled for Thursday, January 19th.  

We can do this!
