an example that we tend to use a lot is an organization called littleton neighbors voting no. they were organized -- they spent $170,000 to defeat a local zoning measure in colorado that would have affected whether wal-mart could come to town and it turned out littleton neighbors was entirely funded by wal-mart so the reason for these on-ad disclaimers when an organization especially a nonprofit is set up in order to put these ads out, that the voters have a sense of who's really funding the ads. you know, which maybe in some cases it's less helpful but certainly we think in a lot of cases is useful information that will help voters make decisions. and again,, you know, we would advocate that, you know, if littleton neighbors voting yes is an organization only funded by the local union or only funded by target or only funded by a local coalition of small businesses, this is also information that, you know, we want to get out there and so we do want to try to make sure this is a nonpartisan issue as much as possible. and i guess the other set of kind of litigation issues that i

we advocate that if littleton neighbors voting yes is only funded by target, we want to get that out there. you want to make sure it is as not to send an issue as possible --. we want to make sure it is as non-partisan an issue as possible. the other set of issues is what we think of as entity-based disclosure issues. a big wave of litigation in 2010 occurred when a number of states, in order to address and the citizens united issue that i described before, where a lot of new entities are making political expenditures, a number of states went and took -- for example, 24 states have some sort of a ban on corporate and/or union expenditures prior to citizens united. since that time, at least 11 states have enacted legislation to amend those laws. probably the most prevalent strategy was to amend the law to permit expenditures but then to require organizations making those expenditures to in some way, shape, or from all political -- or form of all the political committee reporting requirements. any corporation that may political expenditures had to file a report with the state and had t
