Campaign Finance Reform - Friday, November 7, 2008 10:28 - 0 Comments

Wait until next year

Lots of folks who follow college football – who after a series of early season losses – usually say in despair, “just wait until next year!” The same thing can be said for campaign finance reform. We will have to wait till 2009 for any reform to happen. Nothing will happen at either the national or local levels this year. We must look forward to campaign finance reform, as well as lobbying reform, being made a top priority next year. Many believe this could be the greatest challenge facing the newly-elected President and Congress in 2009. Unless we reform the system, we will continue to put politicians in office who are controlled by special interest lobbyists. This is something that – for the good of our nation and its people – must be a part of the change promised by the Obama campaign.
