Dale Groutage on Government Reform

Campaign finance reform to limit special interests

Corruption in government hurts every American. This was not the intent of our nation's founding fathers, because they established a government of the people. Unfortunately, special interest financing of campaigns has lead to government of special interest representation, and a quagmire of corruption where congressmen are found guilty of $2.5 million kickbacks and Senators give away money collected by Abramoff to charities. My solution to fix this problem of corruption is campaign finance reform. Source: New York Times Election Profiles Oct 8, 2006
