campaign finance reform

As part of a series of articles meant to be a kind of beginner's guide to politics or a young voters guide - my piece on PACs and the somewhat in's and out's of campaign finance reform is now posted on Wiretap.

Who doesn't love a lively discussion of money moving politics?? I mean really...

Last night I had an exciting opportunity to join an org called Forward Montana for their latest forum The Naked Truth. A unique thing about Forward Montana is as a membership organization they poll their members for what issues or candidates etc.. that they are interested in. What gets them all hot and bothered? And one of the major things that their membership wanted FMT to address was this idea bout corruption in politics.

So the Naked Truth brought together David Sirota’s best selling author of Hostile Takeover, David Donnelly of the Public Campaign Action Fund, and state Rep. Diane Sands who is leading the charge for publicly financed campaigns for elected judges in Montana.

And let me tell you it was some hot naked truth!
