This was clearly the weekend to write about Clean Elections! Papers in Iowa, Alaska, and Tennessee featured positive letters or editorials in support of public financing of campaigns -- we're sooo trendy.
The Des Moines Register has a letter [1] from Tom Rendon in response to a column earlier in the week in support of public financing of elections in Iowa. Also hot off the presses are this editorial [2] in the Juneau Empire in support of Clean Elections for Alaska, by Steve Clearly of Alaska PIRG, and this editorial [3] in The Tennessean by Common Cause President Bob Edgar urging improvements to the presidential public financing system.
Read 'em all -- then fire up your computer and write a letter of your own, The Tennessean is looking for short opinion pieces [4] on whether we should have public financing of elections.
