Tell Congress: Support Fair Elections Now!

Today's political campaigns are getting more expensive every year, and even good candidates with the best of intentions must too often turn to special interests to raise the millions of dollars necessary to win a competitive race. As long as that is the case, people will ask -- justifiably -- if their elected officials are standing up for a policy because it is good for the people, or good for the special interests writing the checks.

That is why I am introducing the "Fair Elections Now Act." It would break the dependence on special interest money in Congressional elections once and for all by providing public funds to qualified candidates.

Urge your Members of Congress to support the "Fair Elections Now Act" and its companion bill in the House now!

Dick Durbin

2. Why bother? Because money is at the root of everything, and if we don't demand it, it won't happen

3. I'll support anything...

...that takes the money out of politics. However, I have to ask: How far does this go?
