Stopping the Money Chase

Submitted by Monica Rober on Wed, 09/29/2010 - 13:37

Nikki Love, executive director of Common Cause Hawaii, urges passage of the Fair Elections Now Act in a new op-ed in The Honolulu Star-Advertiser."With the skyrocketing cost of campaigns, it's no surprise that fundraising dominates the culture in Washington, D.C. In order to compete, members of Congress typically turn to well-funded interests that are subject to government regulation or seeking favorable legislation. This system makes elected officials accountable to special interests, instead of their constituents back home."...To get a Congress that's accountable to us, not corporations and special interests, we need to change the system entirely by passing the Fair Elections Now Act (H.R. 6116/1826)."Click here to read the full op-ed.
