Super Transparency for the Super Committee We now know the names of all 12 members of the so-called "super committee" that was created by the debt ceiling bill and is charged with recommending millions of dollars in cuts to our nation's budget. But do we know who's trying to influence them? The super committee will surely be targeted by fat cat lobbyists and their uber-wealthy corporate clients. It is imperative that the American people know who is giving campaign cash to these members of Congress as they make decisions that could have an enormous impact on our economy and our social programs. Tell your Senators to support the Super Committee Sunshine Act (S. 1498) today!

Subject:* Dear (recipient name), I strongly urge you to support S. 1498, the Super Committee Sunshine Act. This legislation will bring much needed transparency to the so-called "super committee" by ensuring that all campaign and PAC contributions to those members are disclosed within 48 hours. With so much at stake, we, the public, need to have faith that the super committee members are working on behalf of the nation's best interests, not the special interests.
