“What to Do About Campaign Finance Loopholes”

Deborah Goldberg of the Brennan Center has this web-only comment at the Nation. It begins: “Let’s set the record straight once and for all. The Supreme Court opened the soft-money floodgates in Wisconsin Right to Life v. Federal Election Commission last June, but it did not change disclosure rules. The real problem is that disclosure alone does not get us open, honest and accountable government, and closing every loophole won’t either. What we need is public funding of federal elections, and we need it ASAP.”
