Sen. Chuck Schumer Hopes To Pass Disclose Act Tuesday
The Democrats in the Senate will try to push a campaign finance reform bill forward this week. The Disclose Act is already passed in the House and if it goes through it would force special interest groups to reveal top donors in campaign advertisements. Republicans in the Senate are expected to block the legislation from moving forward, however, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), the key author of the Disclose Act, stated during a conference call Monday that the Democrats are working very hard on getting a Republican to vote for the bill. Schumer hopes that the Senate will vote for the new legislation Tuesday.
