"A flurry of letters to the White House have alternatively praised and denounced the proposed executive order since a draft leaked in mid-April. Coalitions of House and Senate Republicans — and a growing number of Democrats — have publicly criticized the proposed order as politicizing the contracting process, chilling free speech and circumventing the wishes of Congress, given that the Senate has already rejected a measure requiring disclosure of donations to third-party political groups.
Government watchdog organizations and a group of small businesses have lauded the effort as a way to track the explosion of campaign spending in the wake of the Supreme Court's 2010 decision in Citizens United, which allowed unlimited spending by corporations, unions and other groups."
