Historic Victory Against Secret Money in 2017
— AB 249, California DISCLOSE Act
READ ABOUT the strongest on-ad disclosure law in the nation — and now in effect! Authored by Assembly Speaker pro Tem Kevin Mullin and sponsored by the California Clean Money Campaign.
Citizens United unleashed unlimited, anonymous spending on campaigns nationwide. That's why we sponsored the California DISCLOSE Act and worked for 7 hard years organizing one of the largest grassroots and coalition efforts ever seen in California — resulting in Governor Brown signing AB 249 into law!
• Lets voters know who really is paying for political ads — on the ads themselves.
• Ballot measure and SuperPAC ads will have to clearly and prominently list their three largest funders.
• "Follow-the-money" earmarking disclosure stops ballot measure ads from deceiving voters about who pays.
• Applies to television ads, radio ads, robocalls, print ads, and online ads.
See the story of how Clean Money activists helped us this historic victory here and read the Huffington Post interview of Clean Money President Trent Lange about it here.
But we're not done yet! We must defend and expand AB 249 to address all the ways secret money tries to buy elections and unfair influence.
Now, help us pass SB 47, the Petition DISCLOSE Act, our bill to require paid initiative signature-gatherers to tell voters who's paying for them, stopping bad initiatives from getting on the ballot by hiding who's behind them!
