Today's campaign finance system is a threat to America's democratic values of fairness and equality. Special interest money carries too much weight, at a tremendous cost to the rest of us.
Campaigns are too long and expensive.
Good people without access to big money do not have a fair chance to run and to win. Candidates spend too much time fundraising and not enough time on voter concerns and issues. We must curb special interest influence in policy-making, limit spending on campaigns, and free lawmakers from the money chase so they can do their jobs.
