Common Cause President Bob Edgar discusses how a restless electorate are showing they want change by voting for challengers in primary elections. "Regardless of their ideology, voters everywhere are restless and even angry about a government that too often seems to be in the grip of powerful special interests and deaf to the concerns of the middle class. Wall Street takes our money and uses it to reward people who nearly brought down the economy. A big oil company and its subcontractors despoil the Gulf of Mexico and then have the gall to argue about who is responsible. And the government presiding over all this looks as unruly and unreasonable as a classroom full of eighth graders. "Making a bad situation worse is the recent Supreme Court decision reversing decades of commonsense campaign-finance law and lifting the ban on corporate and union spending on campaigns. As a result, voters are likely to see a huge infusion of corporate money in the coming midterm elections. "To untangle this mess, we need to overhaul the political system that created it. That means changing the way we pay for political campaigns so that the special interests that want the most from Congress - often legislation or policies that help their bottom line or give them unfair advantages - aren't doing most of the campaign fund-raising and donating. That's what we have now, and it's a recipe for a government that caters to the special interests, not the public interest."Click here to read the full op-ed.
