These files contain information on the timing and cost of political ads, including the names of their sponsors. Online access makes it easier for voters, researchers, and advocates to keep up with who is trying to influence elections.&nbsp;<\/p><p>This was such a good idea that we joined with allies at the Sunlight Foundation and the Campaign Legal Center in asking the FCC to extend the online filing requirement to cable, satellite and radio broadcasters.&nbsp;<\/p><p>On Thursday,&nbsp;Reps. Anna Eshoo and Henry Waxman and Sen. Bill Nelson&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/eshoo.house.gov\/press-releases\/eshoo-waxman-nelson-urge-fcc-to-act-on-expanded-political-disclosure-rules\/\">\u0111\u00e3 g\u1eedi m\u1ed9t l\u00e1 th\u01b0&nbsp;<\/a>to the FCC supporting our request, stating:<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">\"We urge you to take these commonsense steps to improve transparency and ensure unfettered public access to this critically important information.\"<\/p><p>They are absolutely right - this is common sense. But it&rsquo;s only the first step. A station&rsquo;s public files contain the name of the group running an ad, but not its actual sponsors. This means that viewers curious about who is running ads in support of mountain top removal and environmental destruction may see only &ldquo;Voters for Clear Skies&rdquo; listed as the &ldquo;sponsor.&rdquo; They would be in the dark about whether the group gets its money from environmental activists or chemical companies.<\/p><p>We need the FCC to use its longstanding authority to require in-ad disclosure of the \"true identity\" of an ad's sponsorship. That way, viewers would see or hear disclosures like \"This ad brought to you by Charles and David Koch\" or \"Paid for by Tom Steyer.\"<\/p><p>We have a right to know.<\/p><p>&lt;<\/p>"}}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.6 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
