President Terry Sullivan and Emcee Ken Alhadeff speak of their commitment
to a better political system, and introduce our panel. |
David Sirota (right) gestures
towards the legislators as examples of heroes: they put their careers
on the line to support public campaign finance because it's the right
thing to do. Above: WA legislators Rep. Mark Miloscia, Sen. Jim Kastama,
Sen.-Elect Eric Oemig, and Rep. Shay Schual-Berke
Sirota states that
other progressive goals, like universal healthcare and education,
won't happen without campaign finance reform. This, he says, is
not even on the radar of Washington D.C. legislators, who excel
at the present system, so the initative for public finance must
come from the states.
