I'm confused.  Don't corporations already have to disclose their
independent expenditures, the same as everyone else?  I'm not sure that
it's always "voluntarily," as the author says.  But it is done, isn't it?
And, if so, what's the point of this proposal, other than more regulation
and more hoops for those who want to engage in political speech to jump
through?  Am I missing something?
