We advocate for greater transparency about who is behind ballot drives, including the recent one in Texas to qualify the Green Party for ballot status. We make clear we have no problem with that status and that this is a view in principle and not rooted in any concerns about the 2010 gov's race. Rather, we use this opportunity to remind readers why disclosure of financial backing of political moves is important - on both sides of the aisle.
