Perry County cleaning up after flashing flood
Posted: 6:00 PM - Heavy rains caused major problems in the Perry County community of Big Creek, after flash flooding swept away cars and flooded an elementary school.
(AP) President Barack Obama says it's about the "integrity of our democracy" as he urges swift action by Congress on measures to restrict political advertising by corporations and labor unions.
Legislation introduced this week would require that corporations and unions identify themselves in their paid political ads and that the chief executive or other top official state that "I approve this message."
The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in January that these groups have a First Amendment right to spend money on campaign ads, thus enhancing their ability to influence federal elections.
Obama says in his weekly radio and Internet address that quick action is needed to ensure that the voices of the American people aren't drowned out by deep-pocketed corporations and other special interests.
The President said he would fight to see that campaign reform becomes law.
