Quoting Nick Nyhart's column in the Huffington Post, "Sen. Obama and his campaign must be clear in the weeks and months ahead about their commitment to ending a system that puts big money campaign contributors ahead of the needs and concerns of all Americans."
I recommend that Public Campaign mount an email, telephone and letter-writing campaign to Sen. Obama's campaign offices asking him to publicly confirm support for Public Campaign Financing, and specifically for the Fair Elections Now Act. My home organization in Florida, the Space Coast Progressive Alliance (http://www.spacecoastprogressivealliance/elections) will join the effort, and I'll bet that all of the state and local Clean Elections organizations around the country will join in as well.
The timing is right, while the country's attention is on the issue, that several thousand emails, letters and calls should have some impact.
