Broad Coalition Urges Prompt Action by President Obama on Draft Executive Order to Reveal Secret Political Spending by Government Contractors

On Wednesday, May 4, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. groups representing more than 30 organizations will hold a press conference on Capitol Hill in support of a draft White House executive order to require disclosure of secret political spending by government contractors. The organizations are urging President Obama to promptly sign the executive order and will unveil a citizens’ petition and letter to be delivered to the White House.

The press conference will address the vast amount of disinformation leveled at the draft executive order since it was leaked last month to opponents of the executive order.

What: Press Conference and release of citizens petition in support of proposed White House executive order to reveal secret political spending of government contractors.

When: 10:00 a.m., Wednesday, May 4

Where: 441 Cannon House Office Building (1st St. & Independence Ave, SE).

Presenters: Campaign Legal Center
