Former Senator Warren Rudman (R-N.H.) has an op-ed in today's Washington Post decrying the recent Citizens United v. FEC Supreme Court ruling, and calls for the Fair Elections Now Act (S. 752, H.R. 1826) as the answer.

"It's time to return to our roots and take up Teddy Roosevelt's challenge
from over a century ago by enacting the only real and lasting solution
I know: citizen-funded elections. Under the proposed Fair Elections Now Act,
sponsored by more than 130 members of Congress, money from special
interests would be replaced by small donations from constituents and
matching federal funds. Matching funds, raised through a fee on
large-scale government contracts, would go to serious, hardworking
candidates who demonstrate a broad base of public support and who say
no to large donations."
