Public Campaign Finance – A Silver Bullet

From the Democracy 21 Website:
The Money Chase; Running for Dollars

An editorial appeared today in The Washington Post entitled, ”The Money Chase.”

An editorial also appeared today in The New York Times entitled, ”Running for Dollars.”

The editorials support legislation to repair the presidential public financing system for future elections and urge presidential candidates to agree to accept public financing in the 2008 presidential general election.

As I wade through all of the unceasing political controversies we read and write about I wonder what would put us on a path of increasing the likelihood that we are electing representatives who value collaboration, pragmatism, fairness, balance, long term solutions… I continually return to promoting public campaign finance as the best use of my resources.

One reason that I post about this regularly is that the Moderate Voice is one of the leading communities visited by Moderates, Centrists and Independents also open to trans-partisan solutions that work for the majority of citizens.
