How about this - any US individual or corporation can give as much as they want to anyone they want, or for any advocacy ads, but ALL contributors of one penny or more must be immediately named in public filings and on the internet.

Speaking of disclosure...how about disclosing the 20B agreement/document between the totalitarian branch of government and BP? Does Congress have one representative of we the people that will question Barrack “This Is Not a Cap” Obama? Check$ and Balance$? The pre$$?

Supra-national corporations + international totalitarian interlopers = neo fascism

Too big to fail?

For one thing, the measure bans independent campaign expenditures by businesses that do more than $10 million in contracts with the federal government.

So, what is needed is to block campaign money from any union with more than 1000 government employees?

I think they are cynically assuming that the law will be tossed out when it gets to the courts, but after the election—so they will have an unfair money advantage in November 2010.

If the lying congress had to comply with any kind of truth-in-labeling requirement for legislation, this act would be called the Donor Intimidation to Protect Senate and House Incumbants' Tenure act.

this reminds me of the thousands of gun control laws...more laws the criminals (Congress) will ignore. Case in point:

“Lawmakers Slow to Comply With New Filing Requirement”

Scores of lawmakers missed a deadline to start disclosing their ties to political action committees as required by law.
Some of them were sponsors of the law that imposed the new requirement.
Such widespread failure to officially declare their connections to so-called “leadership PACs” means it may be some time before voters can see whether their senators and representatives have auxiliary funds that let them distribute money separately from their re-election committees.

The new disclosures were due at the Federal Election Commission by March 29.

The deadline was set by the FEC as it implemented a larger campaign finance overhaul law passed in September 2007 (PL 110-81). While more than 230 lawmakers met the deadline, a significant number with known connections to leadership PACs did not
