The Disclose Act is not a little thing and really the average American needs to pay attention to what is being rushed through Congress right now.

The DISCLOSE Act exempts unions and very large special interest groups!! And the little guy is left without a voice.

For more information on what this bill is all about, take a look at this site, it will give you the general statements and an understanding of how this will effect you.

What This Means To You

Even if somehow the speech restrictions in this bill were constitutional, their uneven application would be a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment’s equal protection under the law. Even the left-leaning Sierra Club has labeled the DISCLOSE Act a two-tiered system that is “unfair and undemocratic” and that smaller grass-roots organizations would be disadvantaged because they lack the resources to cope with “the additional disclosure burdens.” The unions and the big non-profit groups get to keep their free speech given to them in the January Supreme Court decision, but the corporations and small non-profits lose theirs under DISCLOSE.

In the end it is a bill that should be feared.  If you happen to be a small non-profit, or a corporation then you will quickly see the added expenditures of staying compliant with the Disclose Act.
