FEDERATION OF WESTERN OUTDOOR CLUBS






RESOLUTION #20:  CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM
In 2001, approximately $3 billion will be spent by candidates, political parties, and outside issue groups on election campaigning.  This money buys influence -- usually for corporate or land development interests.
Campaign finance reform is needed to bring about a return to a government which protects the long-term interests of all the citizens and the natural environment of the country and the world.
In 2000 "stealth PACs," including soft money slush funds of Members of Congress, were directed by Congress to disclose the names of donors.  This was an improvement in campaign finance reform, but it didn't go fare enough.
The Federation of Western Outdoor Clubs urges Congress and the President to adopt a strong campaign finance reform bill which does not infringe on the free speech rights of nonprofit groups.
