Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.) now faces trial in the House Ethics Committee on several alleged ethics violations. Below is a statement released today by David Donnelly, campaign manager of the Campaign for Fair Elections.   “The pending ethics trial will likely deepen public distrust in Congress, which will only get worse until Congress takes dramatic action to stem the conflicts of interest that are literally built into our political system.    “The biggest and widely supported action they could take is to pass the Fair Elections Now Act, because everyday Americans need their voices heard in Washington. One investigation or even one resignation won’t address the deep gulf between Americans and Congress. The House must act to restore government of, by, and for the people, not the corporate interests, and the best way to do that is the bipartisan Fair Elections Now Act.”
