Democrats' desperate attempt to focus on campaign finance reform instead of laws that may have been broken by the Clinton-Gore campaign is like Mike Tyson demanding a reform in boxing regulations after biting off a piece of Evander Holyfield's ear.

Cal Thomas

Campaign finance and ethics reform only works if it curtails all special interest groups equally and does not carve out any exceptions to benefit one party or another. 'Pay to play' reform was passed to limit the influence of big spending contractors over the public officials from whom they are trying to obtain work.

Thomas Kean, Jr.

Robert Torricelli

The biggest issue that we have to contend with is campaign finance reform.

Gaby Hoffmann

Every major federal campaign-finance-reform effort since 1943 has attempted to treat corporations and unions equally.

DISCLOSE is the first major campaign-finance bill that has not taken this approach.

Bradley A. Smith

I am enormously honored to be one of the spokesmen of the New Age Womens Health Campaign, so you'll be seeing me in public service announcements and public appearances supporting the campaign.

Karen Duffy

It is my preference that the Democratic Party leads us forward in a way that is about standing up to special interests, in a way that advances campaign finance reform, in a way that fights for meaningful prescription drug reform.
