THE INFLUENCE OF BIG DARK MONEY IN POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS

Removing the influence of big dark money from politics is my # 1 priority in deciding how to vote because that problem affects so deeply all my other priorities: environment, health care, the quality and survival of public education . . . . If, as it seems, the best we can hope for at the moment toward that goal is transparency about where money comes from, I urge every candidate to find out and fully disclose the sources of their funding. If they can't find out, I urge them to condemn and refuse it. And I urge every candidate to respond publicly about what they will do, if elected, to remove the influence of big money from politics.
