Sen. Durbin on Bill Moyers Journal

Submitted by Monica Rober on Wed, 05/13/2009 - 15:58

Sen. Dick Durbin, the lead sponsor of the Fair Elections Now Act in the Senate, went on Bill Moyers Journal to discuss his issues with the banking industry and his efforts to create a public financing system for congressional campaigns. "If you want to get to the heart of this, it's the way we finance our campaigns for the United States Senate and the House of Representatives. It's time for us to move to public financing, for the good of the country."
