1. The proper word is "ad," short for "advertisement" . . .

2. Nothing else to say though, just the copy editing

I expect that from DU.



Really

But thanks

3. Without it, the headline -- indeed the entire story, for it's repeated -- is meaningless. . .

5. Nah, I corrected it, just that this happens so often on DU that I am the one who gets ammused

so at this point, I thanked you, but also asked YOU if there was something else to say about it.

To me this may be a sleeper story... but an important one. Like when we first covered last year the bill for California vaccination. That is now LAW. But none gave it a chance, I expect LOSTS OF MONEY to be thrown to defeat this in the Senate,. Perhaps try to overturn it with a signature petition drive if the governor signs it.

As I wrote, as goes CA, goes the nation.

6. Good edit on the subject line but....

The body of the text could use some editing too

Feb 1, 2016 (SACRAMENTO) AB 700, sponsored by assembly member Jimmy Gomez (D-Los Angeles) and sponsored by the California Clean Money Campaign, has cleared the Assembly and is on the way to the State Senate, This bill, if enacted into law, will bring transparency to political adds in the state.

“Voters deserve transparency in our electoral process,” said assembly member Jimmy Gomez. “Today’s vote moves us forward in the fight to undo the influence of unlimited money in our elections created by the Citizens United decision. I urge my colleagues in the Senate to stand with me and the California Clean Money Campaign and deliver this bill to Governor Brown.”

This was a bipartisan bill, which passed 60-15 with every Democrat voting for it, and 9 republicans voting for it. What is driving this Bill? “The explosion of unaccountable big-money campaigns is the root cause of voter disgust and disenfranchisement with the elections process. Outside groups spent more than $640 million on state ballot measures in 2012 and 2014,” said assembly member Marc Levine, joint author of AB 700. “A core principle in our elections process is that the democracy works best when the public is fully informed. When millions are being spent on either side of a ballot measure, the public has a right to know who is trying to influence their vote.”
