“today our prayer was about doing justice and loving mercy and today our legislative agenda is about descending these steps collecting more and more money from special interest groups. We have failed at campaign finance reform and we have failed miserably. This is not what the American people want. Common Cause points out that anybody who votes for this is going to be going along with having the richest people in America having even more influence and the average people having even less. Is that justice, coming down here with GOPAC and the Speaker? I do not think so. It is time to admit we have failed. It is time to call upon the Speaker to go back to that bipartisan spirit he had when he shook hands with the President in New Hampshire, and it is time to get real reform that will bring dignity back to this House and get the special interest groups that are courting all of this out.”
