What's Wrong with a Little Transparency?
While the political reform community continues to push for greater government transparency and stronger campaign finance disclosure laws, some say these reforms would go too far.

Panelists from those two organizations square off with two leading advocates for reform.

James D'Angelo – Senior Fellow at the Congressional Research Institute
Shelby Emmett – Director, Center to Protect Free Speech, American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC)
Dan Krassner – RepresentUs
Ellen Weintraub – Federal Elections Commissioner (confirmed)
