What are some proposals for campaign finance reform?
There are many strategies for making our system of financing campaigns more democratic. Each of these proposals – more financial disclosure, lower contribution limits, banning soft money and issue ads, overturning the Supreme Court’s Buckley decision, providing free TV, eliminating PACS, or implementing public financing – has strengths and weaknesses.
Activists are working at the local, state, and national level to effect these changes. Democracy Matters supports all efforts that would make our election process more democratic. Each can make a contribution to the process of Changing Elections and Changing America.
