The Media Access Project is asking the Federal Communications Commission to force political groups to release the names of donors for political ads. The Project claims that the Communications Act of 1934 allows the release of the names of those actually paying for the ads.
The Project’s proposal would require that there be on-air disclosures of donors who pay for more than a quarter of a television commercial’s budget or more than a third of a radio commercial. -db
