Wayne is a leader in a growing movement of current and former statewide candidates and office holders who are saying "enough is enough". From first-time candidates to public servants with three-decade tenures, these civic leaders clearly recognize, from the inside, that the current system doesn't work, and that for candidates who want to campaign among real people and avoid money with potential strings attached, a Clean Elections / Voter-Owned Election system is the best solution. Combined with the ever-growing numbers of regular every-day citizens voters the say our elections system is broken and who are ready for reform, we have a movement in North Carolina that we believe is ready for another big breakthrough. Thanks again for posting Wayne's article.

As a former legislator and current commissioner he knows the reality of campaigning and writes about the conflicts it produces. Thu, 28 Jun 2007 20:28:11 +0000
