I think that what has happened after Citizens United is corroding the very essence of our democracy.

The downpour of unaccountable spending is wrong. It undermines our political process.

Now, it takes eight seconds. Of course, if you say it very slowly, you could stretch it out to 20 seconds if you should want to.

I would be happy to say on the floor that that is the legislative intent.

The main problem is that action has shifted from PACs and 527 organizations, which have to disclose all of their contributors, to new 501(c)(4) and other types of 501(c) organizations which require no public disclosure of contributors.

It has ensured that the flood of corporate money flowing from undisclosed and unaccountable sources, such as Citizens United, would continue.

It is time for Congress to take back control.

Get rid of the limits on contributions and super PACs will go away.

Disclosure does no good. In fact, it is deceptive.

The inability of good people in either party to come forward is going to stop and the disrespect of our institutions... will grow.

If you do not require disclosure of the super PACs, there will be people who will want to give undisclosed.

Disclosure laws provide valuable information to voters.

The American people deserve to know where this money is coming from.

I am in favor of full disclosure, but there is nothing in the Constitution about full disclosure.

I believe our law is quite the same as California.

The first benefit of all disclosure bills is that they can prevent corruption and the appearance of corruption.

This uninhibited, undisclosed spending is hurting every one of us.

The floodgates to unprecedented campaign spending are open and threaten to drown out the voices of ordinary citizens.
