Building momentum
While I no longer live in California so I can't call Feinstein as her constituent, I was heartened to read yesterday in Roll Call (subscription req'd) that while the Senate pushes ahead, many House members publicly voiced support for real solutions to stop the money chase:
"Many of us talk about public financing," [Rep. Nancy Boyda (D-Kan.)] said.
"The ultimate solution is real, fundamental overhaul of the campaign finance system," agreed Rep. Christopher Murphy (D-Conn.).
The freshmen, many of whom unseated Republican incumbents by promising to eliminate the corruption and conflict-of-interest scandals exposed during the past few years, meet weekly with Pelosi.
Wasting no time, the subject of public financing was broached during last week's meeting with the Speaker.
