Submitted by Monica Rober on Fri, 01/22/2010 - 15:57

Campaign strategists Mark McKinnon and Steve Hildebrand say the Citizens United ruling by the Supreme Court is a huge win for special interests. They contend that steps must be taken to remedy this disaster and offer the Fair Elections Now Act as the logical solution."The Supreme Court just sucker-punched hope and change and cozied up to the status quo on money and politics."...So we say, seize the day, Congress. Don’t think of a quick fix that gives you a sound-bite. Address the real problem and give elections back to the people."Click here to read the full article in The Daily Beast.
