Bold words from Spitzer
I just got an email about this. Apparently, Spitzer has come out for full public financing of campaigns, something I support very strongly. Here’s his exact words:
“Our package will lower contribution limits dramatically, close the loopholes that allow special interests to circumvent these limits, and sharply reduce contributions from lobbyists and companies that do business with the state.
“But reform will not be complete if we simply address the supply of contributions. We must also address the demand. Full public financing must be the ultimate goal of our reform effort. By cutting off the demand for private money, we will cut off the special-interest influence that comes with it.”
You can go here to sign a petition asking your state legislators to get behind this.
