Weighing in on Fair Elections

Submitted by Katie Schlieper on Wed, 03/21/2007 - 19:09

Lots of coverage on yesterday's introduction of the Fair Elections Now Act in the Senate, and its counterpart, the Clean Money Clean Elections Act, in the House. The Hill covers Senators Durbin and Specter's committment to bringing change to Capitol Hill, while our David Donnelly, and US PIRG's Gary Kalman write on Alternet about out of control campaign spending, and how the Fair Elections Now Act will work to control it.  Public Campaign's President and CEO, Nick Nyhart, also writes over at TPM Cafe about how the Fair Elections Now Act, the Clean Elections policy itself, will help to reinvigorate the work of campaign finance reform with a focus on grassroots energy for change, and greater citizen engagement overall in the political process.
