The swift action of League supporters like you helped put the California Disclose Act on the governor’s desk. Now we need your help one more time to expose the big money funding campaign ads. Tell Governor Brown to sign AB 249 today, because transparency matters!
The influence of big money in our elections is eroding our democracy. When facing a barrage of manipulative and often dishonest campaign ads, shouldn’t you be able to see who is paying for them?
This bill will:
Require political ads to clearly show their top three funders.
Stop ads from hiding true funders behind misleading committee names.
Apply to television, radio, robocall, online, and print advertising.
A fair democracy depends on informed and active voters—and those voters depend on transparent information. Our democracy is in Governor Brown’s hands now—urge him to sign the California Disclose Act into law!
