Public Campaign's President and CEO Nick Nyhart has this letter to the editor in today's New York Times, calling out Rep. Don Young (R-AK) for directing pork-barrel spending to enrich his biggest donors, and urging support for the Fair Elections Now Act in the Senate and Clean Money Clean Elections Act in the House to create a full public financing system for our legislators -- and with it, accountability to voters. Here's the full text of the letter:To the Editor:In “Alaskan Gets Campaign Cash; Florida Road Gets U.S. Funds,” (front page, June 7), it’s clear that Representative Don Young, Republican of Alaska, believes that his constituents are not the voters who elected him but the elite few who made five-figure investments in his political endeavors.And how does he pay them back? By netting them a bonanza in million-dollar pork-barrel projects that are likely to substantially increase the value of their local real estate.Mr. Young and those in our Capitol who immerse themselves in pay-to-play politics should be ashamed. Mr. Young and those in his political mold will one day be the exception instead of the norm.Recently, new bipartisan measures were introduced in Congress, called the Fair Elections Now Act in the Senate, and Clean Money, Clean Elections Act in the House. This legislation would institute full public financing of elections. Qualified candidates would receive enough public funds to run a robust campaign, but only after they agree to forgo private contributions and to adhere to strict spending limits.Until we end the money chase, our elected officials will be accountable to political rainmakers instead of their voters.Nick NyhartWashington, June 7, 2007The writer is president and C.E.O. of Public Campaign, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to improving America’s campaign finance laws.
