I think campaign finance reform is the bedrock of any fundamental change in the way our government operates. I don’t consider speech and money as equivalent entities but donating money is considered a form of protected speech.

The John Edwards campaign is taking aim at the Clinton campaign over a fundraiser. You can read about it on several sites but there are couple of blog entries at MSNBC and NYT. I’m not aligned with any candidate yet but this whole issue doesn’t pass the sniff test for me.

The Center for Responsive Politics
Taxpayers for Common Sense
Porkbusters
Common Cause
