Obama's E.O. -DISCLOSE Act...

Obama Executive Order Intends to Implement Portions of DISCLOSE Act

The draft Executive Order says it is intended to “increase transparency and accountability,” an interesting claim given the fact that federal contractors are already completely barred by 2 U.S.C. § 441c from making:

Any contribution of money or other things of value, or to promise expressly or impliedly to make any such contribution to any political party, committee, or candidate for public office or to any person for any political purpose or use.

Yet this proposed Executive Order would require government contractors to disclose:

(a) All contributions or expenditures to or on behalf of federal candidates, parties or party committees made by the bidding entity, its directors or officers, or any affiliates or subsidiaries within its control.

(b) Any contributions made to third party entities with the intention or reasonable expectation that parties would use those contributions to make independent expenditures or electioneering communications.

That's because Obama's goal is to use the same strategy he used during his last campaign, nickle and dime under the radar contributions through blogs, facebook, and other countries. He knows the threshold of donations that don't have to be reported, and he knows no one will ask who made a $5.00 donation, even if that person happened to make it 10,000 times!!!

As part of the radical group’s fraudulent rebranding scheme, ACORN has renamed its New York chapter New York Communities for Change. Unlike on the West coast where ACORN is at least pretending its renamed California chapter (Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment or ACCE) is not part of the ACORN network, New York Communities for Change shares the same Nevins Street address as ACORN’s Brooklyn office.

BUMP

I posted this nearly 4 weeks ago and NOW it is being talked about on the news (Fox & CNN)... good grief.

Why does Obama want this so badly? Basically, they want to 'look' at this information PRIOR to awarding a contract and to me, that sounds shady.
