Great Rebuttal to McConnell’s War of Misinformation on Open Government


A war is being waged against the DISCLOSE Act. Its Commander in Chief is Senator Mitch McConnell, his secret weapon is misinformation and his goal is to protect unlimited dark money contributions to the political process.

How can a growing democracy continue making a more perfect union ... without public awareness?

Does McConnell want a dictatorship? Is that his definition of success?

Here are the myths that McConnell wants.

Myth: Laws Requiring Disclosure Are Unconstitutional

Myth: Disclosure Chills Speech

Myth: Disclosure Limits Freedom of Association

Myth: The DISCLOSE Act Singles Out Unions for Favorable Treatment

Myth: Independent Expenditures Don’t Corrupt the Process

Myth: Current Law Provides Sufficient Disclosure



And finally, here's what McConnell does NOT want discussed.

Fact: Disclosure is a Constitutionally Protected Way to Address Corruption in the Political Process

Is McConnell related to Benedict Arnold?  Just in it for himself, and willing to say anything for an adequate payment.

"Disclosure is a Constitutionally Protected Way to Address Corruption in the Political Process"

I guess McConnell prefers it to be addressed more like this:

Corruption
Senate Office Building
Washington DC, 20510
