Statement of Russ Feingold on the Introduction of the Fair Elections Now Act | Progressives United

"I commend Senator Durbin and Congressman Larson for introducing the Fair Elections Now Act. It is similar in important ways to the public campaign system that enabled me and many other candidates to run for the Wisconsin State Legislature despite having only average means and without having to depend on special interest funding. Not only will it open the doors of Congress to average Americans, it will take the election process – fundamental to our democratic form of government – back from the special interest influences." Russ Feingold | former US Senator from Wisconsin.

"We woke up the sleeping middle class" Larson says
