GOP Silence Frustrates Online Activists
As reported in Tuesday's Technology Daily PM Edition:
Online activists from conservative and nonpartisan organizations and blogs are getting frustrated as they push Republican lawmakers for more transparency.
The party's own activists are among those working to expose the senator or senators behind an objection to a bill that would require electronic disclosures of campaign filings. The Sunlight Foundation has asked blog readers to call every Republican senator to see who is blocking the e-filing bill from Senate passage by voice vote.
Sunlight Foundation Director Ellen Miller said backers of the measure are frustrated that "numerous" telephone calls to Senate offices have been met with a wall of silence, and she blamed Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
