Considering our discussion about campaign contributions earlier in the semester, this article seemed particularly interesting. Obama signed an executive order that forces companies that are looking for government contracts to disclose their contributions---some that were previously anonymous.
The Politico Article stated:
"The proposed order follows several actions by regulatory agencies that have a similar intent of making corporate and individual donations more transparent.
Last month the Securities and Exchange Commission issued a decree that could result in shareholders having more say in corporate election spending. Democratic appointees to the Federal Communications Commission and Federal Election Commission are pushing measures that could make public currently anonymous contributions to outside groups."
