Federal Action
HELP BRING CLEAN ELECTIONS TO CONGRESS!
FENA Press Conference courtesy of You Street
The Fair Elections Now Act (FENA), S. 752 and H.R. 1826, is Maine-style reform for U.S. Senate and House of Representatives campaigns that was introduced in the last Congress.
Introduced by Senators Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Arlen Specter (D-PA) in the Senate and U.S. Representatives John Larson (D-CT), Walter Jones (R-NC) and Maine's own Chellie Pingree (D-ME) in the House, the bill would create a voluntary system that gives
congressional candidates the option to stop raising huge sums of money, giving
them more time to work on the people's business. Candidates who participate in
the Fair Elections process would agree to limit their campaign spending to the
amounts raised from small dollar donors plus matching contributions from the
Fair Elections Fund.
Please contact Maine's Senators and ask them to cosponsor the Fair Elections Now Act (S. 752 & H.R. 1826).
Tell them you are proud of Maine's pioneering Clean Election system, and that you want the same benefits for the United States Senate and House of Representatives.
