I just want to say today that this is not a Democratic idea, this is not a Republican idea, this is an idea that is good for the American people, and this should be the law in our country, and that is full disclosure. As the gentleman from Massachusetts pointed out, we are not here to try to abuse anybody; we are just asking for an opportunity for an up or down vote on this proposition of full disclosure. The people in this country are cynical about our form of government, about our electoral laws, because they see scandal after scandal about campaign finance fund raising. We can get people enthused about our government again, we can get people excited about the opportunity to participate in our democracy if we will only go with this proposition of full disclosure and tell the people in this country who is trying to influence their votes so, again, they can make an informed decision when they cast their ballot.
