Assemblymember Ridley-Thomas: Please pass the California DISCLOSE Act through the Elections Com...
The astounding amount of Dark Money spent on elections threatens everything we care about. We must stop ballot measure ads from deceiving voters about their funders, by requiring clear disclosure of their real names― right on the ads themselves. Pass AB 700, the California DISCLOSE Act, now.
Why is this important?
This month the 2015 California DISCLOSE Act, AB 700, faces its first key test in a vote of the Assembly Elections Committee. AB 700 is crucial to letting voters defend ourselves against the deluge of ballot measure ads from billionaires and other special interests that attempt to buy elections by deceiving voters.
AB 700, authored by Assemblymembers Jimmy Gomez and Marc Levine and sponsored by the California Clean Money Campaign, will make ads for ballot measures clearly and prominently display their top three REAL funders. No hiding behind front groups with confusing names displayed in fine print.
Assemblymember Sebastian Ridley-Thomas is the chair of the Elections committee, so AB 700's fate is in his hands. Please sign our petition now asking him to vote for AB 700, and to stand with the voters and against Dark Money!
