SHARRON ANGLE SUPPORTS ALLOWING SPECIAL INTERESTS AND CORPORATIONS TO BUY U.S. ELECTIONS

By Opposing The DISCLOSE Act, Angle Sides With Special Interests And Against Nevadans
 
Extremist Sharron Angle continues her bad habit of standing up for the special interests by opposing the DISCLOSE Act, a landmark piece of legislation that requires corporations and organizations to disclose their role in political ads.  The DISCLOSE Act will restore transparency to political campaigns following the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision, which rolled back important campaign finance rules and effectively allows corporations, special interests, and even foreign nations to spend unlimited amounts of money to influence elections.  Due to Republican obstruction, the Senate won’t even be able to debate the legislation on the Senate floor this week.
      
“Time after time Sharron Angle chooses to stand up for the special interests and against Nevada families,” DSCC National Press Secretary Deirdre Murphy said. “Voters have every right to know who is paying for the attack ads blanketing their television screens night after night.  Angle might make her special interest supporters happy with her positions, but she sure isn’t building any goodwill with Nevada families.”

Sharron Angle has consistently opposed measures designed to help Main Street Nevada.  Angle opposed recent pro-consumer financial regulatory reform legislation and continues to oppose giving unemployed Nevadans the help they need as they continue looking for jobs in this still recovering economy.
Angle Believes Candidates Should Be Left To Limit Themselves. According to Sharron Angle’s old website, “Sharron Angle believes that campaign finance limitations must come from the candidates themselves.” (Previously posted at www.sharronangle.com; now available at www.therealsharronangle.com)
