Public Campaign Action Fund is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to reforming America’s campaign finance laws. We hold elected officials accountable for policy decisions they make that are tied to campaign contributions they receive. Below are political ads we have ran in states across the country educating the public on boondoggles and favors given by elected officials as a result of campaign cash they received.

Last week Insight Communications, a cable company, refused to air our ad about Sen. Mitch McConnell.

Ad Gets Censored Submitted by Katie Schlieper on Fri, 09/07/2007 - 2:17pm.
Yesterday we released this ad about Mitch McConnell and his ties to big money special interests. At the 11th hour last night a cable company Insight Communications, with ties to McConnell, pulled the ad from their rotation without cause or notice. Smells like censorship to us...
