The DISCLOSE Act (Democracy is Strengthened by Casting Light on Spending in Elections Act) failed to pass a cloture vote in the Senate, as a result of a successful Republican filibuster, after which Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid filed a “motion to recommit” but on September 23 the vote failed yet again, 59 to 39, without a single Republican breaking ranks. by Raven ClaboughDISCLOSE Act Fails Yet Again (http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/usnews/politics/4682-disclose-act-fails-yet-again)

Yeah the CFL got on it hot and heavy and I got the 912'ers in TN on it too. I think even the JBS was spreading the word. Good exercise in how well connected activism can influence government.

I received two e-mails, one from JBS and one from Gun Owners of America. There seems to have been a lot of different organizations trying to stop this bill.
