This bill would give qualifying candidates the option to run for office on a mixture of small contributions and limited public funds, putting a premium on grass-roots, low-dollar fundraising, and enabling candidates to run highly competitive campaigns without relying on large contributions."We encourage Congress to make the Fair Elections Now Act the centerpiece of campaign finance reform in the wake of Citizens United."Click here to read the full article.
