FCC bringing a bit of transparency to political ads

#9

Quote:So it's even less demanding than I thought, I'm not real knowledge able on campaign finances but I thought they had to disclose who sponsored the add (you know the voice that talks real fast at the end or the really small white print you have to freeze frame and zoom in to read).
They have to say who the PAC or whoever is in the ad but this information is who runs/funds the people running the ad. So like for example EricC85 starts a PAC called Anarchists For the Future of Children of America and runs an ad supporting Ron Paul. During the ad it names yours PAC but nobody knows who the actual PAC is they just think it's a bunch of good old fashioned Children loving American Anarchists. With this they will be able to look into this fantastic sounding establishment but lo and behold it's EricC85!!!!!!

 

Really it won't do much for the average American that is to lazy or just doesn't give two turds to look into these ads. It's something towards campaign reform though and that's nice.
