Rep. Mark Pocan believes our progressive ideals alone are not enough, and that's why he's led the fight for progressive change for nearly two decades, six years as a member of the Dane County Board and 14 years as a State Representative. Change doesn't happen in a vacuum and that's why his video blog is dedicated to spreading the word about the hot topics facing Wisconsin.
In this video, Rep. Pocan gives you the scoop on a bill he's about to release that calls for the most sweeping campaign finance reform in Wisconsin's history. The bill would create a Clean Elections Fund and would provide grants to qualified candidates in an effort to put the focus of campaigns back on ideas, rather than fundraising. In the video, Pocan references his website, www.markpocan.net. To get a copy of the bill, visit the website and choose the Press Releases link and select 2012.
From the man who coined the term "Fitzwalkerstan" and the man who twice crashed the right-wing American Legislative Exchange Council's annual conference, these video blogs are intended to educate and sometimes entertain. We welcome your feedback. Please, share liberally.
To read more of Pocan's writings, visit his blog at http://markpocanwi.blogspot.com/. Mark Pocan is also on Twitter @MarkPocan. You can also find him regularly posting about what's going on in Fitzwalkerstan on his facebook page.
