"We need real campaign finance reform to loosen the grip of special interests on politics"

- Tom Daschle

About this Quote

This quote by Tom Daschle speaks with the requirement for reform in the manner in which cash is used in politics. Special interests, such as corporations and wealthy people, often have an out of proportion impact on the political process due to their ability to contribute large amounts of money to projects. This money can be used to sway public opinion and influence the outcome of elections. Campaign financing reform would assist to reduce the impact of special interests by restricting the amount of money that can be contributed to campaigns and increasing transparency in the way that cash is used. This would help to guarantee that the political procedure is more democratic and that the voices of daily residents are heard.
