We cut it extremely close, but thanks to grass root efforts, we prevailed in today’s Senate cloture vote on the DISCLOSE Act (or as it should be called, “the Establishment Protection Act”).
The Senate fell short of the 60 votes needed to break a filibuster by a final tally of 59-39. This one vote victory showcases the importance of contacting every senator.
I personally called both Senators Murray and Cantwell and sent them emails too asking them to oppose disclose in every vote including cloture. As usual, they ignored me and voted to protect the establishment but thankfully the rino from AK did not vote and there weren't enough votes to stop the filibuster on this bill that attacks our freedom of speech. Hooray!
DISCLOSE is designed to silence grassroots organizations like Campaign for Liberty because they have the audacity to challenge the establishment’s failed status quo.
This deals a massive setback to part of the statist agenda, but it is by no means the final blow. Harry Reid is still likely to again try to ram through DISCLOSE in a lame duck session. The momentum is ours, so we have to not only keep the pressure on, but turn it up!
If your senator(s) voted to OPPOSE DISCLOSE, tell them you appreciate their stand and expect their continued opposition to the bill. If they voted for this First Amendment-shredding legislation, make sure they know you’ll be informing your fellow constituents of who their elected officials sided with when the American people’s privacy and free speech were on the line.
This couldn’t have been achieved without dedicated activism. Thank you for all you do to defend freedom and restore the Constitution! Click Here to see how your Senator voted.
