"Campaign Finance Reform" radio episode

Title

"Campaign Finance Reform" radio episode

Description

An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin on campaign finance reform. He criticizes the fact that politicians must devote excessive attention to raising funds for campaigns. He describes how an upcoming vote in Congress (the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002, commonly known as the McCain–Feingold Act or BCRA) could reform campaign finance. However, it will require citizens to start contacting their representatives for change to happen. This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode aired in early 2002.
