grandson as that the president a california clean my campaign sponsor of
that you'd be sixteen forty eight the somerville sixteen forty which is the
california's close at
the website yes their elections dot or
and try to my pronounce your last arab yep blankets crack a great barrier joe
great to have you with us thank you for joining us
uh... you are working to get big box out of our elections are you doing that
well the uh... the eventual needed to uh... you get out by having full public
financing of of campaign but uh... in the media term we have to a combat the
overwhelming blood oven on the campaign uh... spending that was on respected in
united
and the way to do that is to have a real uh... disclose act were all political
ads captor
boldly and clearly in prominently
whose actually paying for those ads so that people aren't aren't fooled by by
by take names and they can
take that into account when they when they see the at the target they're
staying those that would be what there that's what
basically the international disclose ed would propose to have the right
that that's right and uh... of that that was actually the inspiration for the
california disclose act import of the national disclose act though in two
thousand tenet
got through the uh... congressman democrats uh... control that the court
has been filibustered ever ever sent
i'm here in california though uh... which is
you know where we have absolutely huge amounts of campaign spending as it is
uh... omg
over two hundred five nine dollar spent on ballot measures alone in in two
thousand ten and more apply to this year
i'm were doing a california version or plan to calcutta a california version
that would require they had uh... to show the top three ponders inv on a
big-screen nothing else and their logos
so that people with see exactly where that uh... compound where the funding
happens than when
when companies decide to launder their money through an intermediate group when
they give their money for world or when they get their money to the u_s_ chamber
of commerce
that stepped part of the need for disclose act both nationally and in
california the apart of happy idea is to make sure that the abductor show who the
the ponders are
the other half of the idea is is making sure that that
uh... that wondering if pierced through the veil that they try to
try to hide so that uh... how when um...
uh... one uh... uh... americans for prosperity at uh... you know one from
the company tenth americans prefer frustrated that they have two reports
this is wearing our funding came from
um...
and in california we actually have disclosure of that type california from
the strongest disclosure laws uh... in the nation
so that when uh... company either or or billionaires give money to campaign
committee
they have to be reported on our secretary state website
there's a great start to the reporters know what i can
see where the funding asap of the california glos ac
goes one step further and says okay that's report of the victory state that
the good start but let's put it right out in front where the voters here when
they see those a misleading this uh... deceptive ads for the cube right there
on the out themselves right
that's that is great it's isn't and how are you accomplish in the city s
fair elections dot org
well we have to pass a a bill and and get a on that on the ballot here in
california i'm bound for chile there have to wait we can get it done here in
california
uh... we were hoping to possibly should be able to pass a with a two-thirds vote
on that would allow it to go into
affect right away uh... for unfortunately here in california we were
not able to get any republicans to uh... to to vote for it as uh... not at the
national level
uh... too that the shame because
read before they said uh... that wheaton baby disclosure for believers and
disclosure unfortunately haven't voted that way
uh... so the other way is to have passed a bill to put it on the ballot in
november two thousand fourteen
that's with the california disclosed act uh... would do
uh... abt sixteen
forty eight which was through the legislature got through the assembly
uh... overwhelmingly passed a on up on a party-line vote the one independent also
as a member of our also voted for it
uh... unfortunate we ran out of time this year with a b sixteen forty eight
uh... but we will be going to have right away the next time to uh... for bill
uh... first thing next year if that would put it on the other two thousand
fourteen belt so we can
uh... pat but they're with hopefully the momentum that we've we've gotten this
year now your campaign is completely california centric correct
that's correct
uh... brothers around the country who are doing the same thing in other states
adair there are there are efforts so as far as we know this is the uh... most
uh...
forward and which comes of this the strength of the ad that disclosure but
you know we're hoping uh... something for good or for ill what happened what
happened in california often spreads across the country company but sometimes
that bad
this would be a a great example into were hoping to serve as an example for
the country
and and
needs uh... is there any kind of a larger organization or coalition
or any national organizations that are working on the same thing that you know
uh... advocate nationally uh... uh... group lekha from my foundation and
common cause are not working on the national disclose like a number of
groups uh... worked on that
uh... if uh... if if congress uh... changes uh... uh...
have appeared at maybe more likely to get past and at next year
uh... that would certainly hope i know that uh... there was whatever for the
national disclose act
uh... this the
this year
right we need some of the house democratic sellin
and hold on to the senate would make that happen probably since republicans
uh... except for walter jones of north carolina a have apa unfortunately a vote
again
the because i can
it's really partisan uh... unfortunately the the like cut california ten o'clock
a actually said that they were uh... urge all republican senators to vote
against uh...
california disclose act because they believe the disclosure works to the
definitive of uh... liberal groups
well understood the disadvantage of republicans in as much as he
demonstrates to
to the citizens you know who where the money's coming from whose phoning home
and the republican party has since the eighteen seventies when it was captured
by the by the robber barons who ran the railroads
and and then you know is that the oil companies the steel companies one of the
big banks
of the republican party has been the party of the millionaires in
billionaires being period and anderson's and they'll all be able to do that
they don't want to know and and and that they hated makes
but he's definitely will know where the funding
we had a proposition on the june ballot proposition twenty nine that would've
provided a of cigarette packs provide money for cancer research defaulted
sixty eight percent uh... early on in the year phillip morris r_j_ reynolds on
a leash forty seven million dollars anonymous
