Hillary Clinton outlines campaign-finance plan

Hillary Clinton will outline Tuesday a series of proposals designed to curb the influence of outside spending groups that have poured billions of dollars into U.S. political campaigns since the Supreme Court issued its 2010 Citizens United ruling.

The Democratic front runner is pledging to go beyond appointing justices committed to overturning the 5-4 ruling that led to a torrent of unlimited spending by corporations, unions and so-called ``dark money’’ groups that don’t disclose their donors, a campaign aide told USA TODAY. The aide spoke on condition of anonymity because the proposal has not been announced publicly.

She’ll also push for a Constitutional amendment to restrict the influence of special interests and legislation to require public disclosure of significant political spending.

Until Congress acts, she would encourage the Securities and Exchange Commission to require publicly traded companies to disclose all political spending to their shareholders and issue an executive order requiring federal government contractors to disclose all political spending. Campaign-finance activists long have pushed for these changes without success so far.
