From Wesleyan Democracy Matters:

With nearly $2 billion spent by House and Senate candidates, the 2010 midterm elections were easily the most expensive midterm elections in U.S. history. When a Senator, on average, spends 1/3 of his or her time fund-raising, we can’t be surprised nothing gets done.

The Fair Elections Now Act (FENA) would allow candidates to reject the status quo which necessitates donations from mostly old white men. Through a combination of small donation under $100 and public financing, candidates can be financially competitive without prostituting themselves to corporations.

Comprehensive election reform has never had a better chance of passing. Now is the time to act!

Please take 60 seconds and sign the Wesleyan Democracy Matters petition in support of the Fair Elections Now Act.
