ARE YOUR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS CO-SPONSORS OF THE "FAIR ELECTIONS NOW ACT" ?

The "Fair Elections Now Act" has been introduced in both the United States House of Representatives (H.R. 1826) and in the United States Senate (S. 752). It provides matching public funds for congressional candidates who are able to raise a significant number of small contributions. Incumbents and their challengers would no longer have to depend on financing their campaigns through large payments from lobbyists and wealthy self-interested people and groups.

These bills are designed to survive court challenges and to attract enough support to pass both houses of Congress. In 2008, Senator Barack Obama was a co-sponsor of a similar bill. Given his many statements on the issue, it is likely that he would sign a public funding bill into law.

Here is a list showing which Members of Congress from Pennsylvania have already agreed to be co-sponsors of the
"FAIR ELECTIONS NOW ACT".
