Why Public Financing Works
Bob Edgar, President/CEO, Common Cause
Nick Nyhart, President/CEO, Public Campaign
As health care and other industries spend millions per day on lobbying in Washington, the Supreme Court stands poised to declare a law forbidding campaign contributions by corporations and labor unions as unconstitutional. Heading a coalition dedicated to reform big special-interest campaign spending, Edgar and Nyhart state that public financing works and explain how it can shift power and strip lobbyists of their most powerful weapon.
