ACTION CENTER: PASS THE DISCLOSE ACT NOW!

We must do all we can to see that the DISCLOSE Act gets brought up in the Senate ands passed before the New Year. That means we need to apply pressure where its needed: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to get him to call up the bill, and a handful of holdout Republican Senators who have indicated they would support a streamlined version of the DISCLOSE Act (exactly what they’re being offered). 

Please call these Senators’ offices now and urge them to support passage of the DISCLOSE Act before the holidays:

Harry Reid (NV):
202-224-3542

Scott Brown (MA):
202-224-4543

Mark Kirk (IL):
202-224-2854

Olympia Snowe (ME):
202-224-5344

Susan Collins (ME):
