Does Clean Money Campaign Reform Suppress First Amendment Rights to Free Speech?
If anything, Clean Money Campaign Reform would finally grant political speech to those who never really feel they’ve had it. It is a voluntary system designed to give a voice to those potential candidates who do not have personal fortunes or instant access to special interest contributions. Our political and policy debate, as well as our democracy itself, will only be revitalized and diversified by this system. In addition, according to the U.S. Supreme Court, public financing of election campaigns is constitutional as long as the system is voluntary.
