This was some good news.
They are trying to get into these organizations and thereby getting lists of all people involved in these groups or organizations,like the NRA,NumbersUSA and AARP. All groups that collect donations and join together to fight legislation in Washinton. It is the voice of the people combined,since a "lone voice is NOT HEARD".
The Supreeme Court already made their decision on this and Obama did not like it as expressed in his State of the Union Message. They are trying to overturn the decision."When you have knowledge,you have a responsibility to do better"_ Paula Johnson

Yep and they will continue to try and get it through because it benefits them...
So it will be an on going battle..the Disclose and many other bills they are trying to get through.
What we need is when something is turned down more than once it needs to go away for good...

And Reid actually voted no on this bill thus effectively killing it for the session, I believe.
Edit: He voted yes

He actually voted yes BUT there were only 59 yes votes and not 60 which were needed to pass the bill.
I'm actually surprised at this.
Did he not know that every Repub voted no?
But still, congrats to Reid for actually voting yes because if he'd voted no then that would allow him to revive the bill for another time.
