Stop getting what you don't pay for
| | In a pay-to-play political system, Americans' votes don't matter nearly as much as cold, hard cash. That's why we need comprehensive campaign finance reform, including full public financing, to actually change the rules of the game. Under such "clean elections" systems, which are already the law in Arizona and Maine, candidates who collect a large number of small contributions and agree to abide by spending limits receive a public grant to run their campaigns. In that way, public officials are freed from their direct dependence on private donors. |
| | If somebody is going to own the politicians, it might as well be us. |
