Our country would be a better place if we got big money out of politics – public funding of federal elections will make that happen!

Your time and effort as a volunteer for Americans for Campaign Reform asking the candidates questions about public funding for federal elections is essential to both gaining attention for this important issue during the 2008 campaign season and gaining the commitment of the candidates to be part of a bold solution that is vital to the health of our democracy.

The demand for changing how we elect our leaders must come directly from the American people – you can play an important part in making change happen!
