Hillary Clinton Supports Public Funding for Candidates for Congress

On September 8, Hillary Clinton released these recommendations for campaign finance law changes. She favors public funding for candidates for federal office.

The statement does not acknowledge that the U.S. already has public funding for presidential candidates. The statement seems to hint that it is too easy now for candidates to get primary season matching funds. The statement says, “Qualifying contribution thresholds. To qualify for matching funds, candidates must first demonstrate that they have sufficient public support for a viable campaign by raising a minimum number of small donations from their constituents.”

Current law says candidates qualify for primary season matching funds by raising at least $5,000 in small donations in each of at least twenty states.

  1. The statement does not acknowledge that the U.S. already has public funding for presidential candidates.

    Is Clinton totally delusional and EVIL brain dead ignorant about the mere Constitution, laws and treaties of the USA since 1789 ???

    i.e. one more perfect MONSTER trying to be a DICTATOR Prez ???

  2. If she were anyways even half-way serious about this issue, wouldn’t she have already declared that she would acccept the Federal spending allotment every Major party candidate received up to the current President’s renegement of his statement to follow the rules everyone had followed. Afterall, she should know all the ins-and-outs of living within that restiction as it was not a hinderance when her husband ran in the 1990’s.
