1. good video - more facts

In addition to what was said in this video, the expenses of the Chamber of Commerce on electioneering communications make up 43% of all electioneering communications expenses in the first 4 weeks of October. The American Action Network, a right-wing 501(c)(4) "nonprofit group," makes up 38% of all electioneering communications in the same time period. Together, these 2 right-wing groups make up 81% of electioneering communications - dwarfing every other special-interest group in the realm of political broadcasts. The source for these facts is http://www.leftandrightnews.com/2010/10/31/leading-special-interest-groups/ .

The most disturbing part is that no one knows who these 2 groups receive their money from. Disclosure of these contributions is a no brainer decision that must be a priority before 2012. The democratic nature of our elections is threatened with these anonymous and out-sized special interests.
