Enforcing Campaign Finance Reform

Created by R.S. on January 12, 2012

We expect candidates for federal office to follow our campaign finance laws, but the FEC - the agency charged with enforcing those laws - is completely disfunctional.
Three of the six commissioners staunchly refuse to enforce the law and fice of six are serving despite expired terms.
Prior to your election, you professed support for campaign finance reform. We agree with you that the Citizens United decision was disastrous and the failure of Congress to require disclosure of campaign-related spending was outrageous. Nevertheless, you have failed to appoint new commissioners who actually would enforce the laws.
To restore some faith into the democratic process, we urge you to nominate new commissioners to the FEC prior to the 2012 elections.
