President Barack Obama urged Republicans in Congress to stop blocking campaign finance legislation that he said would keep corporations and foreign interests from anonymously trying to influence U.S. elections.
The legislation would require corporations and unions to disclose their spending on political advertising. It also would require corporate and union leaders to appear in ads they financed, saying that they approved the message, as candidates must do.
