Ballot measures are not the same as votes for candidates for office.

This is an affront to the intelligence of the people.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>2012 House Bill 2499 (Expanding disclosure of political advertising to include advertising supporting or opposing ballot measures)</title><link>http://www.washingtonvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/124249.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 17 Feb 2012 00:41:24 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8aea812f-02a0-4622-bb63-b8c2fd430f3a:124249</guid><dc:creator>admin</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.washingtonvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/124249.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.washingtonvotes.org/forum/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=16&amp;PostID=124249</wfw:commentRss><description>Introduced in the House on January 16, 2012, requires political advertising supporting or opposing ballot measures sponsored by a political committee to name the "top five" contributors in the advertisement&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The vote was 75 in favor, 22 opposed and 1 not voting&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;(House Roll Call 0 at House Journal 0)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.washingtonvotes.org/2012-HB-2499'&gt;Click here to view bill details.&lt;/a&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
