Tell the Senate to keep the grassroots lobbying provision in S.1 for the strongest reform bill possible. This measure contains a provision that would require disclosure of federal grassroots lobbying, but only for groups already registered under the Lobby Disclosure Act because of their direct federal lobbying expenses or firms that spend over $25,000 in a quarter conducting such campaigns on behalf of clients. There has been some incorrect information spreading regarding the provision, such as the claim that it will silence many small groups. We must correct this myth. It does not restrict lobbying activities by groups or individuals. It would only require disclosure, and small non-profits are unlikely to meet the registration threshold that triggers the reporting requirement. We need your help to make sure the provision does not get stripped out during the Senate floor debate! There are important benefits to this provision - it would help make large scale lobbying efforts more transparent and expose the activities of industry fronts. Let's level the playing field and have the big spenders disclose such grassroots lobbying communications.
