Our friends at Public Campaign are hosting a virtual town hall tonight at 6:00 p.m. on the east coast to talk about the Fair Elections Now Act. The lead sponsor of the bill, Rep. John Larson of Connecticut, will talk about the legislation and answer your questions. Short version: the bill allows for citizen-funded elections, providing public money to match contributions under $100 with a 4-to-1 match. Here’s the skinny on the event from Public Campaign:
Momentum for the Fair Elections Now Act (H.R. 1826) is growing – due to you. Lead House sponsor, Rep. John Larson (D-Conn.), wanted to speak to you directly to thank you, answer your questions, and to encourage you to continue to act to advance Fair Elections. We have set up a website for you to join the virtual town hall at http://townhall.fairelectionsnow.org. Log on Thursday, February 25 at 6:00 P.M. EST.

I hope the Dems lose the house in November. I don’t hate them or anything i just think that government works best when both parties have some power. In my lifetime I think the Government was working best during Reagans and Clintons presidencies and were at its worst during Obamas and Bush II’s.When one party controls everything it seems like its most corrupt and usually the other party sells its soul to the Devil to get back in power.
