The short explanation of this alert was:
A proposal to make big money grassroots lobbying campaigns on federal legislation more transparent is under fire from opponents who have exaggerated the impact it will have on nonprofits.
Sen. Bennett has proposed an amendment to strip the provision (Sec. 220) from S. 1, the Senate ethics and lobby reform bill. WE HAVE HEARD THE VOTE ON THE BENNETT AMENDMENT WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS.
Please send your Senators a message asking them to VOTE NO on the Bennett Amendment as soon as possible.
