Tomorrow the conservative money-in-politics group Take Back Our Republic (TBOR) will be holding a rally in front of the White House to urge President Obama to issue an executive order requiring government contractors to disclose their political spending. Citing the possibility of foreign and other illicit contributions impacting American elections, TBOR strongly supports increased transparency in elections.
Writing today in the Washington Times, TBOR president John Pudner said, “We want President Obama to see that while those on his right may have disagreed with many of the previous 226 Executive Orders he’s signed, there’s one good one that’s sitting on his desk that would be welcomed by many conservatives.”
With TBOR leading the way, bipartisan support for the executive order continues to expand.
Check out TBOR’s flyer to learn more about the event.
What: Rally for political transparency executive order
