Action alert from the Sunlight Foundation: Campaign finance transparency

Your senators, Sens Gregg and Shaheen, have not co-sponsored S. 482 (the Senate Campaign Disclosure Parity Act), and we need their support to help pass this bill -- a straightforward piece of legislation that would require senators to file their campaign finance reports electronically. So far, 33 senators have co-sponsored and many of these senators agreed to co-sponsor because of your calls, emails and tweets.

But 33 co-sponsors are not enough -- we need 60 co-sponsors to make it filibuster-proof so there won't be an excuse for the Senate to not pass this bill. Call Senators Gregg and Shaheen and bring us one or two co-sponsors closer to where we need to be.

House and presidential candidates have filed their campaign contribution reports electronically for nearly 10 years, but the Senate still files on paper. If we don't push the Senate to pass S. 482 now, then the public will continue to vote for their senators without complete campaign contribution information.

Every call has a huge impact -- we just need you to call your senators. Our Web site will walk you through the steps.

Call Senators Gregg and Shaheen now: http://www.sunlightfoundation.com/pass482

Thanks for all you do,
