Bruce Skarin on Government Reform

Campaign finance reform to end pervasive corruption

Now Skarin is raising money in $15 increments to finance a 1,000-mile walk around Massachusetts starting in April to highlight his campaign against Democratic Sen. Edward Markey.

"This may seem like an incredibly ambitious thing to do, but I don't think it's the least bit crazy," Skarin said. "I'm trying to put an emphasis on the need of representing the people. Right now there's institutional corruption."

By accepting only up to $15 per person a year, he said, he won't be beholden to the special interest groups, large corporations & powerful industries that he says exercise disproportionate influence in Congress. Skarin's immediate goal is to collect 334 donations and qualify as an official candidate with the Federal Election Commission.
