"The folks at the Center for Media and Democracy have done incredible work documenting [[Portal:Front groups|<span style="color:#002BB8;text-decoration:none;">fake grassroots ("astroturf") groups</span>]]. Here, they're helping protect the rights of all Americans to exercise their [[Portal:Election Protection Wiki|<span style="color:#002BB8;text-decoration:none;">right to vote</span>]].

"The dearth of information on the [U.S.] government [lobbying] disclosure forms about the other business-backed coalitions comes in stark contrast to the data about them culled from media reports, websites, press releases and Internal Revenue Service documents and posted by SourceWatch, a website that tracks advocacy groups."<br>
