Senator Michael Bennet(D-CO), in an open letter to the FEC, asking them to consider broad disclosure and disclaimer requirements as the agency prepares to change several rules in the wake of the Citizens United decision.

Sen. Bennet pointed to the tens of millions of dollars already being donated and spent, by Super PACs, in the 2012 election as evidence of the need for new disclosure rules. Additionally, he requested that the agency consider requiring disclosure of donors, attempting to remain anonymous, who send money to non-profits that then give the money to Super PACs.

Sen. Bennet’s letter was co-signed by ten of his fellow lawmakers, including:

• Sen. Al Franken(D-MN)
• Sen. Jeff Merkley(D-OR)
• Sen. Tom Udall(D-NM) 
• Sen. Sherrod Brown(D-OH) 
• Sen. Chuck Schumer(D-NY) 
• Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse(D-RI) 
• Sen. Barbara Boxer(D-CA) 
• Sen. Bernie Sanders(I-VT)
• Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand(D-NY)
