The issue is pretty simple today. It is whether we are going to have sunshine in the political process or whether we are not. We all know we do not need another study. We do not have to wait on another study. All we need to know is whether or not the 527 and all other groups shall disclose how much they are spending, how they are spending it, and who is, in fact, contributing the money. Let us let sunshine shine on the legislative process. It is pretty simple. Vote for the motion to recommit. Let us move this process along.
