Who placed the Secret Hold?
Yet again an anonymous Senator has placed a secret hold on legislation that would increase transparency. This time a secret hold has been placed on a bill, S. 223, that would mandate that Senators file their campaign finance reports electronically. This process would not only make these reports more readily available to the public but would also save money and resources.We need your help to find out who placed this secret hold!
Call your Senators and ask them if they are the one with the secret hold on S. 223. Then report your findings. We'll keep a running tally over here. For reference, below is a list of Senators and their contact info.For Reference:
