The FEC did something right!
This evening, the FEC approved contributions via text message--something that could enhance the roll of small dollar donors in our political process.
Here's what Public Campaign President Nick Nyhart told Politico:
The FEC “did the right thing today,” said Nick Nyhart, president of political money reform group Public Campaign, one of 10 reform organizations that petitioned the commission to approve the case. “In the age of six- and seven-figure donations to super PACs, we should be doing more to encourage policies like this that enhance the roll of small dollar donors in our political process. This is a step in the right direction.”
