On February 3, the Federal Election Commission announced that it has approved Buddy Roemer’s matching funds submission. Roemer is the only presidential candidate who has even applied so far. Jill Stein is working hard on qualifying. Candidates need to raise at least $5,000 in each of twenty states to qualify. Donations larger than $250 are legal, but for purposes of primary season matching funds, a contribution greater than $250 only counts as $250.

It will be very interesting to see how federal matching funds limitations operate in the context of UN-limited Super PACs. Ours is now a fundamentally unreasonable system that simultaneously encourages and discourages excessive campaign spending. And Roemer sure looks like both the message and the messenger from here. Thanks for posting.
Dr. Jill Stein of the Green Party is the stronger candidate for President. Medical Doctor. Housewife. Mother. Dr. Stein has run several successful Green Party campaigns for office. Dr. Stein is attractive, articulate, intelligent.
