Progressive Candidate to Make Campaign Finance Reform a Top Issue

Springfield, MO - Midge Potts, who is running for US Senate in 2010 as Missouri's Progressive Party candidate, has announced that she plans to seek an aggressive voting reform agenda in Congress when she is elected to office.

"I have made a personal promise to never take campaign contributions from any political action committee," said Ms Potts. "In addition, I would submit legislation into the US Senate that would begin the process of creating a Constitutional amendment replacing the current system with a publicly funded election campaign process. I would also submit a bill to insist the FCC require a certain amount of free and equal time for ALL candidates on the airwaves that belong to the American citizens."

Potts has often criticized the ease with which Congressman Blunt has accepted PAC money over the years; however, she says he has never adequately responded to her concerns. She said that she is looking forward to confronting Blunt about his corporate contributors in future debates after primary season is over.
