To address this problem, Congress should take immediate action and pass the DISCLOSE Act, recently introduced in the House. This bill is an update to a previous version introduced two years ago in the last Congress, and goes straight to the problem: the lack of transparency for unlimited, secret super PAC money and the influence it has on our elections and our elected officials. This simplified bill, stripped of controversial non-transparency provisions the previous version contained, is a good solution to the ‘dark money’ problem.
