Roberts, Moran opposed campaign disclosure

It was disappointing but not particularly surprising that Kansas Sens. Pat Roberts and Jerry Moran were among the lawmakers who blocked a vote last week on the DISCLOSE Act. The measure would have required independent groups to disclose the names of contributors who give more than $10,000 for use in political campaigns. These groups are spending millions of dollars trying to influence the elections, but voters don’t know who is bankrolling this spending.
