On March 31, at a press-only event at the U.S. Capitol, Sen. Dick
Durbin (Ill.) talked about one of the reasons why he and other members
of Congress are introducing the Fair Elections Now Act. After watching
the video, please take a minute to sign the petition below urging
members of Congress to support the Fair Elections Now Act.
Petition Text:
I urge you to co-sponsor the Fair Elections Now Act, introduced
by Sens. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Arlen Specter (R-Pa.), and Reps. John
Larson (D-Conn.), Walter Jones (R-N.C.), and Todd Platts (R-PA).
Under
the Fair Elections Now Act, Congressional candidates who raise enough
small dollar donations qualify for the fair elections system and
receive a competitive grant coupled with a 4 to 1 match on additional
contributions between $5-$100.
If you agree with me that this is a better way to run elections, please help make sure this bill moves quickly through Congress.
