We are talking about quasi-public institutions....not private institutions.

I dont see anything wrong with a law that requires reporting all contributors; 90% of the House (390-34) agreed in a bill last year.

We require it for campaign contributions (even if you are the losing candidate)...why should contributions to a presidents library not be treated in a similar manner.

A president, raising funds while in office, should report it. And even out of office, those same presidents still have public policy influence.

We obviously disagree on the value of transparency and open government.
