Here's a round up of this week's Fair Elections op-eds and letters to the editor from states all over the country.

Illinois:

"We need complete disclosure of campaign contributions and passage of the Fair Elections Act now!"

North Carolina:

"My compliments to our two U.S. House representatives, G.K. Butterfield and Walter B. Jones, who are co-sponsoring H.R. 1826, the Fair Elections Now Act, to provide optional public campaign financing to congressional candidates. Having the voter in control in all elections rather than narrow special interests will be good for democracy and good for policy."

Pennsylvania:

"Our elected officials are forced to devote all their time to their electoral self-preservation instead of listening to the needs of the people they are supposed to represent. Pennsylvania voters are left to wonder whether their elected officials are standing up for them – or their corporate and lobbyist donors – in Washington, D.C."
