Public Financing of Political Campaigns

I posted recently on Libertarian candidate, Bruce Guthrie liquidating his life’s savings for the “privilege” of appearing in a televised debate for US Senate. I believe that public financing of political campaigns should be at the top of anyone’s priority list if they truly wish to see a return to a government of, for, and by the people. If you are one of those people, please take the time to watch the following three videos:

On November 14th, speakers from Washington Public Campaigns will be featured at the Democracy for Snohomish County (PAC) general meeting in Edmonds. Law in Washington State currently prohibits public financing of political campaigns. WPC is working to advance and pass legislation that would allow us to make legal public financing at the local (municipal) level. This is only the start. A bill to accomplish this was successful in passing the State House but stalled in committee in the State Senate last year.

I encourage everyone who is able to attend this meeting on Wednesday, November 14th at 7:00PM in the Edmonds PUD Auditorium (21018 Highway 99, Edmonds 98026). Our government should not belong to the highest bidder.

Peace,
