Former Sens. Bob Kerrey (D-Neb.) and Warren Rudman (R-N.H.) have a new editorial on the Fair Elections Now Act in today's Boston Globe.

"As experience with public funding in states like Arizona and Maine has
shown, large majorities of candidates willingly forgo the big-money
game - and the countless fund-raising hours it demands - when presented
with Fair Elections. We believe our former colleagues in Congress would
gladly do the same if it meant legislating free from the influence, or
perceived influence, of special-interest groups, even at the cost of
greater electoral competition."
