The Disclose Act is full of special interest unfairness. Pure hypocrisy from the democrats!!! And then to slander Republicans for not voting on this special interest bill. The NRA got a deal where their organization will not have to be held to the same standard as others but read further below for a group on the left that gets a deal. Hardly an anti-special interest bill!!!

President Obama once again comes out and condemns Republicans for the Democrats inability to gain consensus on the Disclose Act. Here is link to that speech. But what he didn't tell you was that this bill is one sided as Susan Collins a moderate Republican who will vote with Democrats at times explains from ABCNews last night:

Collins said through a spokesman this afternoon that she will not support the bill in its current form.

The bill would provide a clear and unfair advantage to unions, while either shutting other organizations out of the election process or subjecting them to onerous reporting requirements that would not apply to unions,” Collins’ press secretary Kevin Kelley told ABC News.
Senator Collins also believes that it is ironic that a bill aimed at curtailing special interests in the election process provides so many carve outs and exemptions that favor some grassroots organizations over others. This too is simply unfair.

In otherwords this bill only allows those special interest organizations that support Democrats to not have to go through loops for political free speech. This is something that has caused a lot of opposition from pro-life groups. As far as Unions spending money on elections check out Two influential labor unions will spend $100 million in 2010 elections to keep our current unpopular congress in office. and Video: Government Unions vs Tax Payers and Service Employees International Union spends 85 million on electing Democrats and Obama writes "I owe these unions" and Union: “We spent a fortune to elect Barack Obama – $60.7 million to be exact – and we’re proud of it.” Obama: "I owe those unions." No wonder Democrats don't want a fair bill. This bill is special interest bill itself!!!
