The decision by the United States Supreme Court to open the floodgates to corporate money influencing political campaigns makes it all the more imperative that we not only protect Arizona's public campaign financing system, but enact public financing for federal elections.
The Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry is backing a serious effort to defund Arizona's landmark Clean Elections system. They and other longtime foes of public campaign funding are opportunistically blaming Clean Elections for the current dysfunction in state government.

Last year they ran ads telling us how sleazy PayDay lenders were, and that they needed to be reined in. We didn't fall for it then and we won't fall for it now. Contact your legislators and the Governor and tell them not to defy the will of the voters. For more information, go to www.nomoreloansharks.com.
