Letter in Abilene
David Weller of Abilene, Texas and the blog All Things Reform has this letter to the editor on Fair Elections Action Week in the Reporter News: "Voting is an intellectual exercise, not a pocketbook one." Full letter after the jump.Support Clean ElectionsNovember 12-16 is "Clean Elections Week." I walk the walk every day at www.allthingsreform.org for publicly-financed clean elections.The argument is plain and simple: Qualified candidates forego their constant money-raising by raising a set amount on their own; they then enjoy government-sponsored campaign contributions and much more time with the voting public.Voting is an intellectual exercise, not a pocketbook one. Encourage our Congresspeople to support the clean elections bill now in legislation.David WellerAbilene
