“there comes a time in a legislator's life when he or she has to be held accountable. On the issue of campaign finance reform that day has arrived.

The Republican leadership has delayed this issue, played games with this issue. We were supposed to deal with it last week, now we are going to deal with it this week. And what do we have? We have a group of us who have worked in a bipartisan way, 21 Democrats and 20 Republicans, in a bicameral way, working with Members of the U.S. Senate to come up with a bill that will do two things: first, voluntarily cap how much money is spent in elections and, second, curb the influence of special interest PAC's. The President is waiting at the White House for that bill and he is ready, willing, and able to sign it.”
