AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION ADOPTED BY THE HOUSE OF DELEGATES FEBRUARY 11, 2013 RESOLUTION RESOLVED, That the American Bar Association supports efforts to increase disclosure of political and campaign spending and urges Congress to require organizations that are not already required to do so by current law as interpreted and applied by the Federal Election Commission to disclose (a) the source of funds used for making electioneering communications and independent expenditures as defined in federal campaign finance law, subject to such reasonable threshold limits as may be necessary to avoid infringing on any implicated Constitutional interests such as the right of free association, and (b) the amounts spent for such communications and expenditures, in public disclosure reports filed with the Federal Election Commission according to requirements under the Federal Election Campaign Act and regulations thereunder that are applied consistently without respect to the nature of the entity making the communication.
