Actually, Americans Do Care

Submitted by Monica Rober on Tue, 11/16/2010 - 20:17

Katrina vanden Heuvel, editor of The Nation magazine, argues that Americans do care about corporate campaign cash."It's exactly the "wine-and-cheese crowd" that the American people are concerned about -- wealthy Washington special interests that get to buy access and influence with politicians, drowning out the voice of everyday Americans. In fact, post-election polling from Democracy Corps showed that voters are just as angry with elected officials in Washington working for the elites and not regular people as they are with perceived issues of "big spending and liberal policies. "Election Night polling commissioned by Public Campaign Action Fund and Common Cause found that three in four voters believe that the flood of money spent this cycle poses a "real threat" to our elections and Congress and that 74 percent want Congress to act this year to reduce the influence of special interest cash."
