Last week I contributed a short [essay](http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/editorials/2010-04-30-editorial30_ST1_N.htm) on the DISCLOSE Act to *USA Today*. The Center for Competitive Politics [surveys](http://www.campaignfreedom.org/blog/detail/disclose-shedding-light-on-what-you-need-to-know) other responses to the new bill. Predictably the bill favors the coalition that wrote and hopes to pass it.

I like their final take: “Don’t forget what the reform lobby’s new proposal for campaign finance is: ‘All political animals should speak equally, but some political animals should speak more equally than others.’”
