An Example of Political Speech As Authorized by the DISCLOSE Act

Washington, D.C.--The Supreme Court recently struck down restrictions on corporations' and unions' ability to express political speech during elections, but Congressional Democrats have introduced a bill, called the DISCLOSE Act, that would reimpose additional speech restrictions on corporations only, and not unions. The DISCLOSE Act would require that many 30-second political ads -- such as the one embedded below -- contain so many disclaimers that the disclaimers alone could take up half the ad.
