According to this article, the Obama administration, probably in a fit of “transparency” is planning an executive order to require federal contractors to disclose their political contributions.

Is this required transparency, requiring the disclosure of corrupt influence in granting of contracts, or is it corruption, where the disclosure of the political donations will become a source of leverage on the contractors wanting federal business?

On principle, I agree with the RSC.  This is an injection of politics directly into the contracting process, and begs for corruption.  The RSC request should be heeded by the Obama administration.
