It looks as though the corporations have bought the commissioners as well as the Republicans in Congress. Pimps anonymous???

Before everyone gets all het up about full disclosure, one needs to look at what that would involve and what the likely consequences of implementation would be.

Since the earliest cases of allowing anonymous political activity that I know of applied to socialists who didn't want their personal information revealed publicly (presumably because they correctly feared retaliation from friends, family, neighbors and employers), we need to pause before we implement laws that would either silence large segments of the population (both progressives and conservatives) or subject those with radical views to discrimination and retribution.

I do not pretend to know what the correct level of transparency is but I do know that both progressives and conservatives are often all too willing to try to intimidate and use violence against their opponents.

Wasn't the Republicans who raised so much "hell" regarding some donations to Wm. Clinton during his second campaign that the funds were returned??? Wonder why so much secrecy involving donations to the Republicanss??? Just musing....

Repubs aren't only self-serving a$$es, they also do the bidding of their corporate masters.
