But this year, a huge grassroots push from citizens across the Golden State has given the DISCLOSE Act new life.</p> <p><strong>The full Senate will decide whether the CA DISCLOSE Act survives on Thursday</strong> -- and a phone call from you to your state senator is the most powerful way to boost the bill's chances before the vote.</p> <p><strong><a name="link" style="color: rgb(0,0,255); font-weight: bold" href="http://links.e.progressivesunited.org/ctt?kn=4&ms=NTQ5MDk1OQS2&r=NDM2MjczNjM1NzMS1&b=0&j=MzIwNzg2OTg3S0&mt=1&rt=0" target="_blank">Make a quick call to your state senator now with our easy, one-step tool. Tell your senator to vote YES on the California DISCLOSE Act, S.B. 52.</a></strong></p> <p>You don't have to go far back in time to recall the devastating impact of big, secret money in our elections.</p> <p>During the 2012 race, wealthy individual and corporate interests were free to flood campaigns from the White House to state legislatures with misleading ads while hiding their own identities.</p> <p>The California DISCLOSE Act would bring that dark money out of the shadows, making sure the interests bankrolling political ads in state elections are revealed in the ads themselves.</p> <p>Passing the DISCLOSE Act would be a giant step toward transparent democracy in California -- and the message it sends would reverberate throughout the country as one of the toughest rebukes of the Supreme Court's disastrous <em>Citizens United</em> decision to date.</p> <p>But our positive momentum could be stopped in its tracks if the Senate doesn't pass S.B. 52 on Thursday. Your voice is needed right now.</p> <p><strong><a name="link" style="color: rgb(0,0,255); font-weight: bold" href="http://links.e.progressivesunited.org/ctt?kn=4&ms=NTQ5MDk1OQS2&r=NDM2MjczNjM1NzMS1&b=0&j=MzIwNzg2OTg3S0&mt=1&rt=0" target="_blank">Use our one-step tool to make a quick call to your state senator.
