From USAToday.com:
Top House Democrats agreed today to exclude more non-profit groups from new disclosure requirements to win broader congressional support for a campaign-finance bill, the Associated Press and other news organizations report.
The move comes after Democrats reached a deal to exempt the National Rifle Association and other groups that have at least 1 million members and receive no more than 15% of their money from corporations from the new rules.
Organizations on the left and right criticized the NRA carve-out, and Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., the bill's author, has widened the exemption to include groups with 500,000 members, the AP writes.
