Adam Smith: “Yes, and when people see that they are not going to have to be running a campaign against every big special interest…”

“Yes, and when people see that they are not going to have to be running a campaign against every big special interest group in the Nation, it kind of encourages them to get involved. And I am encouraged because I believe that there is enough guts in this area now to make this big change. But can you just imagine just running your election in your district, not having to worry about tobacco money from the South or Jane Fonda or actors from California? I had to run against all the PAC's in the Nation, including most of the money from outside my district. But I want to tell you, you can do it. My race was so short, but it was mostly people, and it shows you can do it.”
