http://www.signon.org/sign/secretary-geithner-tell?source=homepagePlease consider signing the petition...
Dear Scuba,
Groups like Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS and the Koch brothers' Americans for Prosperity have escaped disclosing their donors by disguising their democracy-damaging groups as so-called "social welfare" organizationsmeaning they can keep their donors completely secret.
A group of Democratic senators asked the I.R.S. to step up enforcement on these groups, and the Tea Party and extreme right wing are not happy. We all need to take a stand with our fellow progressives to build public support now.
That's why I created a petition on SignOn.org urging Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner to direct the I.R.S. to rigorously enforce the law regarding political groups masquerading as "social welfare" organizations.
Click here to add your name to this petition, and then pass it along to your friends.
Thanks!
Russ Feingold
