  “Cleanly financed elections that bring more citizens into the political process as candidates, donors, and organizers are vital to maintaining the health of American democracy."

--New York Times Editorial


“Money is to politics what acid is to cloth - it eats away at the fabric of democracy. Democracy doesn’t have to be a commodity that is bought and sold. Most politicians enter politics to do good, not to ask for donations. There’s no reason we can’t have a political process in which everyone’s voice can be heard, in which dissent is respected and in which candidates run on the strength of their ideas, not the weight of their wallets.”

—Bill Bradley, former Senator
