The San Francisco Bay Guardian says Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) needs to support the Fair Elections Now Act."In the wake of the horrible Supreme Court decision in Citizens United, Rep. John Larson of Connecticut has introduced a bill that would reform substantially the way members of Congress are elected. It's not perfect, but it's a big step. The Fair Elections Now Act, H.R. 1826, would create partial public funding for Congressional races, with a 4-1 match for contributions of $100 or less. The money would come from a small fee on goverment contractors."Click here to read the full editorial.
