Campaign Financing
What's the Concern
 How can I feel good about our
political system when it has to be unfair that people and groups with
money have greater access to our representatives than I do?
How can a political party
or a candidate not pay attention to the individuals and groups who
give them large amounts of money that made it possible for them to
campaign?
Is there a way to keep campaigns
from being so expensive, even though we know that the way to reach
284 million Americans is through advertising? Should the networks
and cable stations charge very high prices even for short spot ads?
Even with campaign finance
reform, people with great personal wealth have an unfair advantage
over those of us who must rely on fund-raising. Is there a way to
let regular people run a competitive race against rich ones?
If I send money, am I just helping a bad system?
If I don’t send money, can I complain about the results? How
can I be heard?
