One-Year Anniversary!
Today marks the one-year anniversary of the introduction of the Fair Elections Now Act (H.R. 1826, S. 752) in Congress. The bill, which now has 141 co-sponsors in the House and 11 co-sponsors in the Senate, has been building great momentum.“Since the Fair Elections Now Act was introduced one year ago, members of Congress have come on board in support of this game-changing policy at a steady pace,” said Nick Nyhart, president and CEO of Public Campaign. “With our nation facing critical problems—an economy still in distress, an uncertain energy future, and an unregulated Wall Street—now is the time to end the campaign money chase. This bill would let our elected officials focus solely on these important issues without regard to where their next campaign check comes from and what paybacks might be expected.”Click here to read the full press release from Public Campaign and Common Cause.
