Lucas,
I am proud to sponsor the Government By The People Act that would limit the amount of money Congressional candidates can accept from special interest groups, like those led by the Koch Brothers and extremists who care more about party politics and blocking solutions than the good of the country.
The Citizens United Supreme Court decision was an upsetting one, as it allowed special interest groups to tarnish the quality of government that we deserve without having to report a single penny to the public. I believe that we have a government of the many-
not of the money- and the Government By The People Act is the first step towards reclaiming a Congress for the people.
Last night, I discussed Campaign Finance Reform with Liz Benjamin on Capital Tonight.I posted the video on my Facebook page so you can see for yourself.

We have to incentivize grassroots participation in our elections if we're going to protect government for the people and by the people. Small dollar donations should be the name of the game, not special interest deep pockets that can donate seven digit sums without even disclosing who they are.
Don't forget to WATCH, LIKE or SHARE. It means a lot.
Thanks for always inspiring me to keep up the fight,
Paul
