“Editorial: Public has right to know who is funding campaign ads.” Grand Rapids Press Editorial. August 24, 2010: “Anonymity brings out the worst in political ads, sharp edges designed to wound rather than enlighten. U.S. Rep. Peter Hoekstra, R-Holland, felt the sting.

They included Americans For Job Security, Michigan Taxpayers Alert and Peace & Prosperity Project.”
