Congressman John Sarbanes (D-Md.), a strong supporter of the Fair Elections Now Act  and a co-chair of the House Democratic Task Force on Fair Governance, wrote this op-ed in the Huffington Post detailing how billionaire-controlled Super PACs have taken over our elections:

"This year, the so-called Super Tuesday primary is shaping up to be just another act in the new blockbuster, Attack of the Super PACs. This off-Broadway play features puppet-masters named Adelson and Friess, billionaires who pull the strings on super PACs with innocent sounding names like "Winning the Future" and the "Red, White and Blue Fund." In the five days between February 29th and March 4th, these two PACs have put over $3.1 million into Super Tuesday expenditures on behalf of Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum. And let's not forget Mitt Romney's water-carrier, "Restore Our Future," which has helped its candidate with $2.7 million during the same period."
