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.
