Tis the reason compny's do not want you to know where their political money is going. They fear "boycott" ! Youtube, Facebook and others were about to face that in their advertising and that is the only reason they took the action they did. Even pension plans were threatening to dump their stock.

And it would happen if you knew where most are spending their money on 'issues' through non-profit org's so you don't know they are behind it.

I don't mind them spending the money in support of what benefits them, I just want to know it. To know who has a interest in this 'issue' explains a lot of fact twisting.
It does not break the $$ = free speech decision in the court.
As I have said all along, how would you know if they money was coming from a foreign entity. And we just seen the result of that.
If those non-profits want to get into political activism, they should have to open their books to the money supporting it.

It would surprise many that in 2008 Wall-Mart had min wage legislation on the ballot in many/not all states. I could not figure out why. After a lot of thought, it came down to the fact that they were paying higher than min wage in just those states but their competitors were not.
So it was a way to run up the expenses on the competition. Of course this was made moot by a federal min wage increase after the election. But the left was getting slammed for it in those states.
But nobody would ever know that if you could not figure out who was paying for/promoting the initiative. And even though the info was out there, nobody was reporting it. And that make it easy for someone else to blame those on the left.

So if you don't know who has a interest in 'making-up/changing your mind' how do you make good informed decisions.
My example may not be the best but it is easily seen. Hundreds just like it every year in all states in the US.

As they say... follow the money (if you can).
