Campaign Finance Reform: “Government by the People Act” (H.R. 20) (petition)
From workingfamiliesparty.org:

– Contributions of $1 to $150 would be matched on a six-to-one basis by a public fund––paid for by closing corporate tax loopholes and giveaways.
– Contributors would get a refundable “My Voice” tax credit of $25.
– Each candidate’s public funding would be capped at a certain amount, and there would be strict enforcement of campaign finance laws—including disclosure of all donations.
