Big Donors Call for Stricter Campaign Laws

Submitted by Monica Rober on Wed, 02/17/2010 - 14:58

Big donors tell Speaker Pelosi (D-Calif.) that enough is enough - it's time to pass Fair Elections style campaign reform."The donor letter-signers — all among society’s wealthiest few — write: 'The court’s action will clearly lead to an increase in independent expenditures by the wealthiest interests in our society, diminishing the voices of candidates and voters alike.' The threat of 'outside intervention in elections,' they declare, 'will add to the already intolerable pressure on members of Congress to raise campaign funds, a consuming distraction for those who are tasked with leading our nation during difficult times such as these.'"Click here to read the full article in The New York Times Caucus Blog.
