Want campaign finance reform???????????? New bill introduced. Whip it!
”Last Thursday, the House Administration Committee held a major hearing on the ”Fair Elections Now Act.”
This is our bill. In a packed hearing room, for the first time in decades, Congress considered real campaign finance reform. Under this bill, qualifying candidates would get a chunk of funding for their campaign and then would be free to raise more in contributions of $100 or less per citizen. These donations would then be matched four-fold by a central fund.
If passed, this would be a game changer — replacing our system of special-interest-funded elections with citizen-funded elections.”

This has likely already been digested by people here, but I missed it.
The Daily Beast looks back to Marjorie Margolies and her 1993 vote supporting the Clinton budget.
interesting little tale aint it ? was just wondering whether it’s more applicable to the Blue Dogs or Schakowksy
Some call it infighting, I call it holding our representatives accountable.
No wonder the Republicans don’t recognize it for what it is.
