Free Speech and Our Election Laws

Submitted by Monica Rober on Thu, 08/06/2009 - 15:56

Former Sens. Bob Kerrey (D-Neb.) and Warren Rudman (R-N.H.) have a new editorial on the Fair Elections Now Act in today's Boston Globe."As experience with public funding in states like Arizona and Maine has shown, large majorities of candidates willingly forgo the big-money game - and the countless fund-raising hours it demands - when presented with Fair Elections. We believe our former colleagues in Congress would gladly do the same if it meant legislating free from the influence, or perceived influence, of special-interest groups, even at the cost of greater electoral competition."
