Bruce Lunsford, Democratic Senate candidate from Kentucky, wrote himself a $1 million check the day after the Supreme Court struck down the so-called Millionaire's Amendment of BCRA.

That's the way the system works -- kinda rotten for average non-wealthy folks, which is most of us, but that's the way it is.  For now.

Lunsford should make clear that he's not about keeping it that way, with the Senate resembling an elite country club, and he should sign the Voters First Pledge in support of public financing for Congress.  A tip of the cap to our friends at Campaign Money Watch for sending Lunsford a letter telling him to do so.
