Despite their continued appeal, the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) revealed the names of 65 members on its website. Originally NAM filed a lobbying report that cited the pending case. NAM is opposed to a provision in the Honest Leadership and Open Government Act that requires groups to disclose those that contributed at least $5,000 each during the first quarter of the year and actively participated "in the planning, supervision or control of such lobbying activities." NAM argues that the requirement violates their First Amendment rights. NAM continues to challenge the requirement in a case pending at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. According to BNA Money and Politics ($$); "NAM said at that time that it would continue to pursue an appeal of the court decisions upholding HLOGA. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit granted April 28 NAM's request for an expedited appeal process . . . The move by the D.C. Circuit to allow an expedited appeal could permit a decision before the next lobbying-disclosure filing deadline date of July 21, according to a NAM lawyer."
