Friday Night at the Meaningful Movies: “CLEAN ELECTIONS: VOTES FOR SALE?” with Craig Salins and Washington Public Campaigns
Film: "CLEAN ELECTIONS: VOTES FOR SALE?" (60 min, John Siceloff, 2006) With CRAIG SALINS, executive director of WASHINGTON PUBLIC CAMPAIGNS.
Many legislative votes and each election smells of scandal and corruption, which raises the question: Can anyone stop the influence of big money and big influence on political campaigns? "VOTES FOR SALE?" is an investigation into the fight to keep American elections free and fair across the country. It spotlights the clean elections movement, a radical public-funding experiment adopted in Maine and Arizona to revolutionize how campaigns are conducted. Pushing special interest money out of the election process may do more than clean things up. It could also open the door for a variety of people who care about democracy to run for office with realistic hopes of winning. Will "politics of the people" be a clean democratic step forward or a messy economic step backward? FREE!
