House Democrats to Rally for DARE Agenda to Clean Up Elections

 WASHINGTON – Tomorrow, House Democrats will rally with the public in support of the Democratic DARE (Disclose, Amend, Reform, Elect) agenda to clean up our electoral system and return power in Washington to the voters.

 House Democrats, working with good governance groups like Public Campaign Action Fund, Common Cause, Public Citizen, and Americans for Campaign Reform, will highlight the connection between runaway, undisclosed spending on our elections and the resulting partisan gridlock in Congress that has seen the nation pushed to the brink over and over again this Congress.
