Business groups to Obama: Drop order on contractor disclosure
TheHill.com:
"A coalition of more than 80 business groups have told President Obama to 'abandon' a draft executive order that would have government contractors disclose their political contributions.
In a letter sent Monday to Obama, groups such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the American Petroleum Institute, the National Retail Federation, the National Association of Manufacturers and others said that they oppose the draft order since it would inject politics into the federal contracting process. In addition, they said the draft order would chill their free speech rights."
