Campaign Reform
Instead of government of,by, and for the people, it is by and for the special interests. Health care, taxation, the environment and gun control are just a few of the issues that have been co-opted and corrupted by money from special interests. Now, against all odds, the House and the Senate have passed comprehensive campaign reform legislation. The proposed changes in campaign finance rules will put government back into the business of serving the public interest.
President’s Bush’s stated intention to veto this noble effort by Congress to reform itself clearly demonstrates whose interest he favors. GEOFFREY B. HOLLAND Sherman Oaks
