Pelosi Trying to Shove DISCLOSE Act through Congress Once Again
– NRA remains on the sidelines
The Washington Post corroborates what Gun Owners of America has been hearing on Capitol Hill. Top Democrat leaders in the House are trying to make another go at the DISCLOSE Act… and they think they are very close to getting the votes to pass it. According to the Post article from yesterday:
Democrats are “in striking distance of getting the votes” for the package, which would require corporations, nonprofit groups [like GOA] and unions to disclose details about their political spending.
The big news last week was a “carve out” that Democrat leaders made to exempt the NRA from the provisions of the bill. This week, in order to gain more votes, there is talk about exempting many more non-profit organizations — which may include GOA.
Our answer to Congress is simple and is found in the First Amendment: “Congress shall make no law… abridging the freedom of speech.” In other words, NO DEAL.
