"Voters in the United States have always had a healthy skepticism about government and politicians, and I think it's a good thing," said James Bopp, the conservative lawyer who argued in favor of Citizens United. "But the problem we have is we don't have enough information available to voters to allow them to make informed choices, so we need more spending."
"Unlimited spending in campaigns undermines our democracy, and is a symptom of the larger problem of corporate Constitutional rights," said David Cobb, former Green Party presidential candidate and spokesperson for the Move to Amend Coalition. "And the people know it! In a June 2014 Gallup poll, 79% of respondents said they support a law limiting campaign spending and 50% said they support public financing of campaigns."
Indiana University's Civic Leaders Center, the SPEA Law and Public Policy Program, the Maurer Law School American Constitution Society, and Move to Amend South Central Indiana sponsor this debate.

STRONG Salem is for everyone who wants to help and participate in getting Salem, Oregon, to quit chasing Growth Ponzi Scheme plans and instead become a resilient, fiscally responsible place that lives by the wisdom that "Communities exist for the health and enjoyment of those who live in them, not for the convenience of those who drive through them, fly over them, or exploit their real estate for profit."
