It’s difficult to track all expenditures by outside groups in the presidential race here because the campaigns are not required to report state-by-state breakdowns to the Federal Elections Commission (FEC). However, according to Sunlight’s Political Ad Sleuth (a public version will be out soon), ad buys reported over the past week that major Colorado Denver stations filed with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) are dominated by the Obama campaign and organizations supporting the president: Priorities USA, the super PAC supporting Obama; and the League of Conservation Voters, which is running this ad criticizing Romney for his stance on wind power.

Sunlight’s raw numbers, through Sept. 18:
Obama campaign — $4.6 million for 5,732 spots
Romney campaign — $1.4 million for 1,596 spots]]></description>

    <dc:creator>sunlightfoundation</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[On Monday, I wrote about the rapidly growing movement to replace the Office of Management and Budget with a different coordinator for standardized publication of government spending data. Why? Because the OMB hasn’t been standardizing and publishing data about government spending. That’s why.

Yesterday, Kaitlin Lee posted a three-part indictment of the OMB on the Sunlight Foundation blog, called “OMB’s Commitment to Data Quality: Too Little, Too Late.” Lee is deeply knowledgeable in this area and extraordinarily patient with the data problems the government throws at her.

"There's the OGD" — that's the Open Government Directive — "the OGP commitments" — that's the Open Government Partnership — "vivek's old 25 point plan" — released by former Chief Information Officer Vivek Kundra, who left federal government last year — "and now a new unified plan?"]]></description>

To sum up, Sunlight is pro-API – we make our own, and we welcome them from the government when they enhance access to information (the FederalRegister.gov API is a particularly good example). However, the first step government should take, in nearly all cases, is to offer the data directly and in bulk. They’ll save themselves mountains of hassle, will better and more quickly serve entrepreneurs and developers, and will encourage the broadest possible use of their data by the public.]]></description>

Overall, the nonprofit raised more than $76 million since it was founded in May 2010 through the end of last year. 'That’s certainly not a grassroots movement, is it,' said Bill Allison, editorial director of the Sunlight Foundation, which advocates for transparency in government and politics. 'These donors can have a very disproportionate effect on politics, and the fact that we don’t know who they are and what kind of favors they will ask for is very troubling.'"]]></description>

About 30 other organizations joined the Sunlight Foundation in the April 10 request.

The current format is "brittle," Sunlight said, and frustrates access.

"Right now, the THOMAS format is flawed and has to be 'scraped' by providers from hundreds of thousands of Web pages in order to be captured and made useful in other formats. This is time-consuming and sometimes results in errors, and does not allow for the posting of updates," Daniel Schuman, the foundation's policy counsel, told CRM Buyer.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>sunlightfoundation</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["It's tough to choose which issue dominated the year in transparency, but I'd say that the Open Government Partnership, the E-government funding fight, and the Super Committee all loomed large for Sunlight," said John Wonderlich, policy director for the Sunlight Foundation. "On the state level, I'd include Utah's fight over FOI laws, Tennessee's Governor exempting himself from financial disclosure requirements, and the Wisconsin fight as very notable issues.  And the rise of Super PACs and undisclosed money in politics is probably an issue we're only just starting to see."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>sunlightfoundation</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Ironically-named food hero Marion Nestle just calculated that PepsiCo, which pumps enough high fructose corn syrup into the American public to turn out one Ghostbusters-size Stay Puft marshmallow man every 18 hours (I made that up; you get the idea), spends $3 million a year lobbying Congress.

So what is Pepsi doing dumping all that loot on 1-percenters who supposedly represent the American public on Capital Hill?

One motivation, according to the Sunlight Foundation, is the company's effort to stop the government's Interagency Working Group from proposing guidelines on food marketing aimed at kids.]]></description>

Don’t be fooled by the foundation’s role: America’s super rich often use family foundations to cut their tax bills. And as the nonpartisan Sunlight Foundation described it, Kaiser “built his fortune in part through shrewdly playing the Internal Revenue Code.”
