As it has periodically for decades, Congress is again considering how or whether to regulate campaign financing. The latest iteration of the debate over which kinds of groups should be permitted to spend funds on political advertisements, and how so, was renewed on January 21st, 2010, when the Supreme Court of the United States issued its decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. The legislative response receiving the most attention to date – and the emphasis of this book – is the DISCLOSE (Democracy is Strengthened by Casting Light on Spending in Elections) Act. This book provides an overview and analysis of major policy issues addressed in the DISCLOSE Act and congressional considerations and implications of enacting or not enacting it.
