Along with our concerns concerning Political Polarization, our concerns concerning our Campaign Finance System rank as a most serious concern. 

We, the concerned citizens of the Concerned Citizens Coalition, are most seriously concerned that our current campaign finance system creates an inherent conflict of interest for our elected officials, who are often forced to choose between what is in the best interest of the people, and what is going to fill their campaign coffers.

We are concerned that the amout of time our elected officials must spend fundraising and campaigning makes it difficult for them to focus on the hard work of governing.

We are concerned that shadowy special interest groups often with innocuous names that don't disclose their donors can threaten to spend millions on attack ads against anyone who votes against their interests.

We are concerned that these special interests are able to subvert the public interest by having an outsized influence not just what our elected officials are willing to vote for, but what sort of legislation even gets proposed. 

We are concerned that this makes it exceedingly difficult for us to address any of the other complex challenges we face as a society. 

We are concerned that the amount of money needed to compete in a political campaign prevents many concerned citizens who would make excellent public officials from running for office. 

We are concerned this system makes it particularly difficult for third party candidates to compete. 

We are concerned that we could probably find lots of better uses for the $7 billion that was spent on these past elections. 

We are so concerned that we are concerning ourselves with

Campaign for Comprehensive

Campaign Finance Reform

Now we do not yet know exactly what this Campaign for Comprehensive Campaign Finance Reform consists of, but we do know we want it to be comprehensive. Which means we're going to have a conversation about this, consider all the options available, and try to build a consensus around the most sensible solutions. 

Stay concerned. We will have more information available soon.
