Clips Round-Up 3/18

Submitted by Andrew Alderman on Thu, 03/18/2010 - 14:58

Citizens United/Fair Elections Betsy Markey shows leadership  This is a letter to the editor thanking Rep. Betsy Markey (D-CO) for her leadership in cosponsoring Fair Elections. Unions are losers in court decision, by Lynn Rhinehart  American Federation for Labor's general counsel pushes back against the recent op-ed saying unions are the real winners in Citizens United. "Union governance by one person, one vote is like our republic, but it differs from the corporate model of one share, one vote. Unions give voice to workers in our nation's public life and economy; corporations receive unique subsidies by law to create wealth." Congress Democrats retain advantage among big donors even as total fundraising edge slips, by Dan Eggen  Democratic committees are winning the race for big donors. "Both big donors and ordinary voters are tired of the constant money chase," said David Donnelly, national campaigns director for the Public Campaign Action Fund, which favors public financing for election campaigns. Health debate plays in money chase, by John McArdle  The health care debate and the economy has hampered fundraising in certain districts - and 1st quarter fundraising reports will show that.
