on political ads.
Citizens United unleashed unlimited, anonymous corporate spending
on campaigns nationwide and allowed corporations, unions, and individuals to
hide behind ambiguous and misleading committee names.
With AB700, groups
funding political ads for ballot measures could no longer hide behind committee names like "Committee for Greater
Democracy". Billionaires like Charlie Mundger couldn't hide behind "The
Small Business Action Committee" as he did in the 2012 elections.
AB700 would:
- Let voters know who really pays for political ads on the ads themselves.
- Clearly & prominently list their 3 largest funders on ballot measure ads.
- Use "follow-the-money" disclosure to stop deceiving voters about who pays.
- Apply to television ads, radio ads, robocalls, and print advertising.
