Coburn/Obama Disclosure Bill Gains Array of Endorsements

We previously blogged on an effort by Sens. Coburn and Obama (and Carper and McCain) to establish a comprehesive website the public could search for information on federal financial assistance, including federal contracts and grants, by Jan. 1, 2007. OMB Watch has circulated an endorsement letter for the legislation that currently has 32 organizations signed on. The National Taxpayers Union circulated their own endorsement letter, attracting additional support from conservative circles. We hope the bill will be marked up in the Homeland Security and Government Affair Committee sometime in July. UPDATE: The National Taxpayers Union has an updated version of its letter posted this afternoon with over 40 groups! Kudos to NTU and their partners!
