Who will step up to the plate this week and cosponsor the Fair Elections Now Act?
The House is way ahead of the Senate. They added five more cosponsors in the last two weeks. The Senate has not added an cosponsor since February 1st--Senator John Kerry. Who will step up next and put the public interest ahead of the special interests? We see how special interests and their hordes of lobbyists have stymied both health care reform and real financial reform (which must have an independent Consumer Protection Agency).
