Start with the ethics/lobby reform bill the Democrats enacted as their first act in 2007...the first in more than 15 years.

Add a bill last year to make Senate campaign contributions more transparent....that was blocked by one Republican Senator (Ensign).

And the same bill place on "hold" this year by a different Republican Senator (Roberts).

And its seems to me its hard to argue that the Democrats have not attempted to provide more transparency and accountability.
