Democrats in both congressional chambers have introduced new legislation to counter the Supreme Court’s recent ruling allowing corporations to spend unlimited amounts of money on US elections. On Thursday, Senator Charles Schumer and Representative Chris Van Hollen introduced a measure that would restore some of the restrictions on corporate campaign spending overturned by the Court. The measure would bar foreign corporations, government contractors and firms receiving government aid from election spending and force corporate executives to deliver disclaimers at the end of campaign ads they help fund. Candidates on the receiving end of corporate-funded attack ads would be allowed to purchase ad time at the lowest possible rates to issue a response.
