There’s an interesting article by John Fund in Opinion Journal today, about how the “grass-roots” cry for campaign finance reform was really astroturf bought and paid for by Pew:

Mr. Treglia admits that campaign-finance supporters had to try to hoodwink Congress because “they had lost legitimacy inside Washington because they didn’t have a constituency that would punish Congress if they didn’t vote for reform.”

If that constituency didn’t exist then, I’ll bet it’s even smaller now, with more people reading blogs. I hope that someone on the Hill reading this decides to introduce a bill that not only repeals McCain-Feingold, but also eliminates all of this donation-limit nonsense, and replaces it with a bill requiring nothing but full disclosure of any cash contributions from all sources, in whatever amount.
