Different Views of Today's House Vote to End the Public Financing Program for Presidential Elections

Today the House voted. See this post-vote statement from CLC and this pre-vote statement from CCP.

What happens next? Nothing. The bill will not get a vote in the Senate or the President's signature. Nor will a bill aimed at fixing the broken system be passed. No serious candidate for President will accept public financing in 2012.

"Democracy, Inc? Citizens United, Corporate Expenditures & the Future of Campaign Finance Law"

A great lineup at this USF symposium on Feb. 25 in San Francisco, including a keynote by Jim Bopp. I had wanted to speak at this event but had a conflict---I hope there's a webcast!
