[QUOTE="MadDawg, post: 1180095, member: 11627"] The GOA is using typical NRA spin. Make the issue a matter of life or death to democracy. Its nothing of the sort. This bill flushes out the dummy grassroot groups commonly referred to as astroturf. The trend lately has been for big money interests to cammy up their lobbying efforts as driven by the masses. This bill will expose the top donors and show their percent of donation compared to total donations. It isnt going to 'expose' simple membership, but rather total membership to expose the groups that are simple lobbying fronts. Seen in that light its easy to see why some are upset, they will lose their new lobbying jobs masked as grassroot consultants. But for regular joes its a good bill, as long as you wish some transparency on just what the percent of astroturf is on the field. [/QUOTE]
