If you’re forced to Watch a Political Attack Ad on TV, at least you know it’s an Ad and the Name of the Entity who Paid for it.
That’s Not True on the Internet.
And that’s where Political Advertising is Heading at a Supersonic Pace, precisely because that’s where Americans are Spending their Time and getting their Information.
In the 2016 Election, 65% of Americans identified the Internet, or an Online Platform, as their leading Source of Information.
Yet our Outdated Transparency Rules, which still include References to Telegrams and Typewriters, don't require adequate Disclosure for Online Ads.
No matter if it’s Organizations with ties to Russia or shadowy Nonprofits Funded by the Koch Brothers, Americans have a right to know who is Paying for Online Political Ads.
More than Three in Four Americans, 78%, want Full Disclosure of who Paid for Political Ads posted to Social Media Platforms, according to a New Marist poll. That includes 80% of Republicans and 82% of Independents.
CLICK HERE to tell the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to require Online Campaign Ads to include Disclaimers as to who is Paying for them, just as is done for Television and Print Advertisements.
