The DISCLOSE Act
Statement
Issues: Campaign Finance
U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell made the following statement Monday regarding the DISCLOSE Act and Democrats' misplaced priorities:
"The mere suggestion that a bill designed to save politicians' jobs should take precedent over helping millions of Americans find work is an embarrassing indictment of Democrats' priorities. The DISCLOSE Act seeks to protect unpopular Democrat politicians by silencing their critics and exempting their campaign supporters from an all out attack on the First Amendment. In the process, the authors of the bill have decided to trade our Constitutional rights away in a backroom deal that makes the Cornhusker Kickback look like a model of legislative transparency."
