Republicans Block Campaign Finance Law
--------------------------------------



Republican senators have blocked a bill to require an unprecedented
level of public disclosure of who pays for political campaign
advertising. The Disclose Act had been drafted by Democrats in response
to the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision that overturned federal
and state limits on independent expenditures by corporations to support
or oppose candidates.
