The '''DISCLOSE Act''' ('''D'''emocracy '''I'''s '''S'''trengthened by '''C'''asting '''L'''ight '''O'''n '''S'''pending on '''E'''lections), or S-3295, is a pending act of [[United States Congress|Congress]] intended ostensibly to reinstate certain provisions of [[United States]] federal campaign-finance law that the [[United States Supreme Court]] invalidated in January of 2010 as violative of the First Amendment to the [[United States Constitution]]. In actuality, the DISCLOSE Act is primarily intended to serve its "other purposes" of subjecting disfavored grassroots political groups, and the bloggers and other [[alternative media]] who cover them, to a burden of regulations, scrutiny, and audits that would virtually shut them down, while leaving [[Mainstream Media]] organs, and more specifically the print and broadcast media, untouched.
