Rossi leads the nation with $4.5 Million in Secret Campaign Donations

"The people, in delegating authority, do not give their public servants the right to decide what is good for the people to know and what is not good for them to know. The people insist on remaining informed so that they may maintain control over the instruments that they have created."

How can a voter determine who is supporting a candidate, if the candidate uses secret funds to pay for an election?

"We've all heard the rhetoric. "Anonymous donors are flooding the election with untraceable cash, subverting our democracy and buying votes." Whether anonymous donations are actually subverting democracy is debatable. What's not debatable is the fact that millions of dollars are indeed being handed to (mostly Republican) candidates from companies that--since the landmark Supreme Court case Citizens United v Federal Election Commission--are under no obligation to tell people who they are. And who's getting more of this secret cash than anyone? Turns out it's GOP Senate candidate Dino Rossi." Link to full post
