Aol Walletpop editors discuss the code red critical importance of campaign finance reform to democracy in America with Nick Nyhart, president and CEO of Public Campaign, a non-profit dedicated to "Clean Elections" (aka publicly funded elections where candidates aren't forced to take money to fund expensive campaigns from special interests). This interview took place weeks prior to the devastating Supreme Court decision that a corporation is a human being.
Money is valuable only for what it can buy. But if incumbents get millions of dollars worth of free publicity, restrictions on spending only handicap challengers.

How sad to listen to this a year later. I really hope we can get special interest wealth out of our campaigns. I have a video about campaign finance limits, and how they only 'limit' the 99%. Search '$99 campaign finance limit.' In the video and video description, there's a URL for my petition for campaign finance reform.
