Alabama Senate filibuster going into second week (donor disclosure in ads) [View All]

[Robbien]

MONTGOMERY, Ala. A filibuster in the state Senate will stretch into a second week. The filibuster started Tuesday over a bill that has already passed the House. The bill would require groups to disclose their contributors if they run ads to influence the outcome of an election, referendum or vote on a bill in the Legislature.
The filibuster continued today for two and one-half hours before the Senate adjourned until next week, when the filibuster will resume.

Opponents say the bill is aimed at crippling the Christian Coalition. Its sponsor, state Representative Randy Hinshaw, says it would bring more openness to the political process.
