Hello, All:

Disclose Act.  If you have not already contacted you representatives in 
the California Assembly and Senate (and maybe even if you have), thank

"I urge all Assemblymembers and State Senators to actively support AB 
1148, the California DISCLOSE Act, because political ads should have to 
show who /really/ pays for them."

AB 1148, the /California DISCLOSE Act/, has reached the Assembly floor!

After thousands of phone calls and emails from AB 1148 supporters, the 
California Assembly Appropriations Committee Thursday voted AB 1148, the 
/California DISCLOSE Act/, to the Assembly floor for a full vote by the 
end of the month.

Coming two days before the second anniversary of the Supreme Court's 
infamous /Citizens United/ decision that unleashed unlimited anonymous 
spending on campaigns across the country, the vote moves forward a bill 
that would shine a spotlight on political spending so voters know who is 
behind the ads they're seeing.

*AB 1148 has achieved tremendous support because it requires one simple 
and yet game-changing thing*:
That non-candidate political ads having funders who give more than 
$10,000 be required to prominently show their top three funders and 
their logos, instead of fine print disclosures of fake committee names 
like /"California Jobs Initiative"./

Assembly Speaker John Pérez joins 30 other Assemblymembers as a co-author!
We are especially excited that Assembly Speaker John Pérez has joined 30 
other Assembly co-authors of AB 1148 in the fight for real transparency 
and disclosure in political advertising.  His active leadership could 
make a huge difference in its passage.

*Check out the honor roll of co-authors at the bottom of this email* and 
be sure to thank them if you're a constituent!

*If your Assemblymember isn't a co-author yet*, ask them to become one!  
(Reply to this email if you'd like to join a possible constituent 
meeting in your district this week).

Five Newspapers Editorialize in Favor of AB 1148!
Illustrating the across-the-board support for AB 1148 is the fact that 
five newspapers editorialized in favor of it in the last week, from the 
/San Jose Mercury News/ to the conservative /San Bernardino Sun./

Shining a light on political ads

/San Bernardino Sun, Editorial, 1/21/12/

"The time is right for AB 1148; the Assembly Appropriations Committee 
passed it Thursday.  It faces future challenges in Sacramento, however, 
where lawmakers benefit the most from political ads on their behalf."

*OUR VIEW: Who's behind that ad? A fair question 
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=kenmtrbab&et=1109123203865&s=47026&e=001eFgBx8ZU7voaxDnU3uABspM1DQ6LdgMhRbAL5pAxghiERsgFiT93RohAN06g__SfQQfnmcKkWNuPcH8ZhTon-Z8QDBD5dYsXpGr2Hiu55WXTPcdOauCWTHZbYakNN9TS6yTKL3RYhR5ZGwAT-y5PXg35olRwuEYKCyjDowfz0yY=>* 

/Bakersfield Californian, Editorial, 1/21/12/

"If super PACs can spend millions to influence our votes, shouldn't we 
know who's truly behind them?...  Now California lawmakers have an 
opportunity to do something about the situation: The California DISCLOSE 
Act."

Editorial: Keep political ads accountable 
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=kenmtrbab&et=1109123203865&s=47026&e=001eFgBx8ZU7vrT66kOdB4i7kyCV8nP_BQUIs6LF0QUX58FZizWp8ZN9VAOD6R4zF17KKZV-u4yVvrPhvjSTFltQfkJofUEWgmU-xCCWSYhQvGV9h3ei2ofcIuJCXNR7rX8-JJvN4BLgR1thjFMe6RF0NpYPCblLeYav9fpRWGgKmI=> 

/Los Angeles Daily News, Editorial, 1/19/12/

"California needs AB 1148. Fuentes, who has expressed concern about the 
cost of putting the measure on the ballot if it passes in the 
Legislature, hasn't said whether he supports the bill. For the sake of 
voters, he should."

Mercury News editorial: Let California Voters See Who Funds Campaign Ads

/San Jose Mercury News, Editorial, 1/18/12/

"California lawmakers have an opportunity to shine light into the 
shadows that can hide the big money donors who pay for political 
campaign ads... This is a step toward giving voters the information we 
need to identify who's backing political campaigns."

Our View: Keep donors' names public 
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=kenmtrbab&et=1109123203865&s=47026&e=001eFgBx8ZU7vqT3UJ-aM-Fb8bc0LKEnUBa8C3fpLM6a8HcVJ8vTonmm9zuiPhuBUC9c3hp_i58UOBHnA1KlyUZEGPrR-7YSGQYam2_Vyx0sIeZ2wwbtYgsNmihw3YSvoSLqAhtA-ZL0-roWvIxfc1ASwG8AYOcSk20R3-m8q3qOyQ=> 

/Pasadena Star-News, Editorial, 1/21/12/

"Misleading political ads are a huge problem in California. In 2010, 
more than $235 million was spent on state ballot measure advertisements. 
Most of the ads were paid for by groups with mysterious origins and 
innocuous-sounding names, according to the /California Clean Money 
Campaign/, which is the force behind this bill..."

*But the fight has just begun. *Why?  As currently written, AB 1148 will 
require a 2/3 vote to get through the Assembly, and powerful interests 
don't want it to because they want special interests to be able to keep 
hiding when they pay for ads.*

**Will 2/3 of the Assembly take this opportunity to do something about 
it, as described by the Bakersfield Californian?*  Or will a handful of 
them reject what 84% of voters are calling for because they benefit the 
most from political ads on their behalf, as the San Bernardino Sun worries?

We're going to need all the help we can get from you to pass it, so sign 
the online petition to email your Assemblymember and Assembly leaders 
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=kenmtrbab&et=1109123203865&s=47026&e=001eFgBx8ZU7vr0FHtvDrJS_5H7y0Twwq6OKGRI_4arywOp-VxRnjlKK380IEZsvB_Yj8S6QL3WezUsWkzanmxzVZ6UHs8NuLPcbDui1mnN2CP54VaCDqPmf-_VZVmJZojxDxJ11bV4T6YokGVe81XsqUyPuTHze1GsnEfuzhBK1Y4=>

JOIN OUR STATEWIDE VIRTUAL PHONE BANKS THIS WEEK!
Last week our callers made over 1,300 phone calls to supporters in key 
Appropriations Committee members asking them to call their 
Assemblymember about AB 1148, a key part of its passage.

This week, with your help, we're going to call California Clean Money 
Campaign supporters in other key districts, asking them to tell their 
Assemblymembers to vote Yes on AB 1148.

Your calls will be using our virtual phone bank software on your 
computer so that you'll receive a script and a list of names to call 
right from your own home.  We'll be starting the virtual phone banks 
with a statewide conference call.  It will give an update on the status 
of the campaign, an overview of why these calls are so critical, and a 
training on how to use the system if you haven't been trained yet.

Virtual phone banks will be happening in the evenings tonight (Monday), 
Wednesday night, Thursday night, and the following Sunday and Monday 
nights at 6:30pm (training at 6:00pm).

Afternoon virtual phone banks will be happening every weekday this week 
and next Monday (1/31) at 1:00pm (training at 12:30pm):

*Register to join one or more of our virtual phonebanks!
