Feingold on Anonymous Republican Hold on the Senate Campaign Disclosure Parity Act

Statement of U.S. Senator Russ Feingold
On the Anonymous Republican Hold on the Senate Campaign Disclosure Parity Act

April 17, 2007

�I am disappointed that a Republican Senator has chosen to block my bill to require Senate campaign reports to be filed electronically. This bill has bipartisan support in the Senate and significant support around the country, from editorial boards to bloggers on both the left and the right. I am aware of no opposition to it at all. I do not understand why someone in this body would block a bill that simply brings the Senate filing process into the 21st century, and do so anonymously and without explanation.�

If it is filed by paper it will take longer to make the information available to the public.

What they should do is give them the option of filing electronically or by paper. BUT

They will have to file by paper 10 days earlier than if they file electronically.
