Washington (CNSNews.com) – In what the White House calls a push for transparency, a pending executive order would require companies doing business with the federal government to disclose political contributions to independent groups, but would not place the same requirement on public employee unions or federal grant recipients that typically donate to Democrats.
Entitled the “Disclosure of Political Spending By Government Contractors,” the order would implement parts of the DISCLOSE Act, which failed to get through Congress last year. The legislation sought to restrict campaign speech after the landmark Citizens United vs. Federal Elections Commission U.S. Supreme Court ruling that upheld the right of corporations and unions to donate to campaigns.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney confirmed Monday that work is underway on the draft order, and linked the move to President Obama’s stated commitment to transparency.

That says it all.
Very good.
Did you do that?
LOL-Thanks for a much needed laugh.
When is this “Resolution for Impeachment” going to be filed? Or is it just wishful thinking?
Wishful thinking unless the tea party yet again wakes them up and enough people act in post #29.
As far as I am concerned it is official hell has frozen over, we are in the end times, neighbor against neighbor,war and earthquakes and all that.... look for Jesus in the clouds soon.
I agree with Barney Frank

You do know that Articles of Impeachment, if they were to be written, would originate in the House, not the Senate, right? The Senate Judiciary Committee would not be involved at all.
Impeachment arises in the House of Representatives, not the Senate. Lamar Smith is Chairman of the House Judicary Committee. The Senate gets involved in impeachment only after articles of impeachment are passed by the House. The Senate then tries the case.
My bad. I had the wrong thing stuck in my head because I remember hearing something about certain things never getting past Leahy.
Won’t hurt to contact them all I suppose.
CONTACT: Congressman Lamar Smith
2409 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, DC 20515

See post 50. My bad. No one will do anything anyway but thought I’d try.
Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin is a hot-button type of guy. I see from the committee website that he is second in senority to Lamar Smith (who I like - used to be my rep before I moved and also redisticting happened - but he’s a cool customer not a hothead like Sensenbrenner). For this we need to get a hot-button type guy on our side. I suggest everyone contact Jim Sensenbrenner’s office seperately and see if he will get on this.
Good idea. We also have Jackson-Lee,Waters and Conyers.
Obama could admit he committed treason and eat a dead baby and they would protect him.How many votes is needed to impeach how many votes need to remove?

It's an outrage...another typical liberal elite totalitarian piece of thuggery.
BTT.
What a prick move...
When we said “Free Speech”, we didn’t mean for you.
Now pay your taxes - the government needs the money. :)

So cool... I helped!
Throw the bum out!
Unions aren’t really the problem anymore than guns are a problem: it is the people controlling unions and guns that are the problem.
