Submitted by Johnny Papagiannis on Wed, 04/01/2009 - 14:39

John Larson (D-Conn.) and Walter Jones (R-N.C.) will help end the campaign money chase on Capitol Hill and make elections about voters, not wealthy interests.Here is the media coverage so far: Bloomberg News:  http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=a9W8cB7MZjjo Congressional Quarterly: http://www.cqpolitics.com/wmspage.cfm?parm1=5&docID=news-000003089244  Roll Call: http://www.rollcall.com/issues/54_112/news/33705-1.html?CMP=OTC-RSS Washington Post: http://voices.washingtonpost.com/capitol-briefing/2009/03/lawmakers_propose_new_campaign.html Politico: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0309/20739.html
