Utah Letter to the Editor

Submitted by Katie Schlieper on Thu, 07/05/2007 - 19:10

Ilona Jappinem of Logan, Utah has this letter to the editor in the Salt Lake City Tribune advocating a Clean Elections program as the way forward in light of the recent Supreme Court decision weakening provisions of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law. At the recent hearing for the Fair Elections Now Act before the Senate Rules Committee, Ranking Member Sen. Bob Bennett of Utah expressed his reluctance to support a Clean Elections-style program in Congress because he hadn't heard the public calling for it. Hope he reads your letter, Ilona -- and thanks for mentioning our website.
