Like many Republicans and Democrats in the Congress, I support common-sense reforms to end abuses in our campaign finance system.
The legislation makes some important progress on the timeliness of disclosure, individual contribution limits, and banning soft money from corporations and labor unions, but it does present some legitimate constitutional questions. I continue to believe the best reform is full and timely disclosure of campaign contributions.
If it is not I would hate to see one. As I said, Every principle Bush put forward was met other than the one he did on his own with the EO. He sent that letter to the now ex-majority leader lott. Now we have Majority leader Dashole and he STILL got he principles incorporated.
