The following is a message from the Sunlight Foundation, an organization that works for open, accountable government. It only takes a few minutes to make a call to Senator Baucus. Here’s his number: (202) 224-2651
Your senator, Sen Baucus, has not co-sponsored S. 482 (the Senate Campaign Disclosure Parity Act), and we need his support to help pass this bill — a straightforward piece of legislation that would require senators to file their campaign finance reports electronically. So far, 33 senators have co-sponsored and many of these senators agreed to co-sponsor because of your calls, emails and tweets.
But 33 co-sponsors are not enough — we need 60 co-sponsors to make it filibuster-proof so there won’t be an excuse for the Senate to not pass this bill. Call Senator Baucus and bring us one co-sponsor closer to where we need to be. http://bsd.sunlightfoundation.com/page/m2/64f58cc3/28893892/3382b2b0/6802902f/3854978356/VEsH/
House and presidential candidates have filed their campaign contribution reports electronically for nearly 10 years, but the Senate still files on paper. If we don’t push the Senate to pass S. 482 now, then the public will continue to vote for their senators without complete campaign contribution information.
Every call has a huge impact — we just need you to call your senator. Our Web site will walk you through the steps.

Senater Bacus: I don’t think a co-op would be strong enough to cause any real reform in healthcare.I also believe that healthcare is about where the banking and housing mess was a few weeks ago and that a public option is the only way to straighten it out.The republician party has been wrong about a lot of things in the past eight years.This will probly be our last chance to really providedecent healthcare.
