From The Colorado Independent:  Citizens United, the Washington-based conservative messaging group whose name has become synonymous with free-flowing campaign spending, plans to make a documentary and advertisements in Colorado this election season and wants to keep the identities of the people funding its work secret. On Tuesday, executives asked the secretary of state’s office to clarify whether doing so would violate Colorado’s campaign finance laws.

“The issue here today is about the freedom of the press. We are part of the press. Our press activities are documentary films,” said CEO David Bossie at a downtown hearing. He called campaign finance reporting a burdensome abridgment of freedom of speech.

Bossie’s organization gained notoriety in 2010 when it won a Supreme Court case against the Federal Election Commission. The ruling has allowed corporations to contribute unlimited amounts of money on behalf of political candidates.
