U.S.: The DISCLOSE (unless your lobbying group is huge) Act passes
- good The House passes the DISCLOSE act, designed to make political groups disclose who their five largest donors are (and to make the head of the largest company appear in the ads).
- bad It sounds good for fans of political transparency, but it makes notable exemptions for the largest lobbying groups – inculding the Humane Society, NRA, and AARP. WTF? Why are they special? source
