Raymond Buckley", "committee": "Majority of Election Law", "text": "Earlier this year voters of both political parties loudly cried out for campaign finance reform across New Hampshire and the country. The bipartisan majority of the Committee heard that cry and responded by voting for SB 477 as amended. During the hearing for this bill, the Committee heard over three hours testimony supporting SB 447 from New Hampshire residents of every walk of life. Those appearing included an Executive Councilor, a Republican gubernatorial candidate , supporters of a presidential candidate and everyday citizens concerned about this very serious issue. The bill addressed the concern that candidates are spending too much time trying to raise ever increasing amounts of funds and being forced to sell themselves to special interests by establishing the New Hampshire Clean Elections Fund. Although SB 447 will only be implemented when a funding mechanism is created at some future date, it sends a powerful message to the voters that we take their concerns about campaign finance reform seriously by setting up the structure for clean elections Vote 12-7 Rep. Robert E. Clegg, Jr. for the Minority of Election Law: This bill does nothing to reform campaign financing. This bill is a public financing bill. The committee heard from many whom had lost political races and believed it was due to money, not message. Yet, those who won believe they won because of their message. While not funded this year, the bill looks for $6 million in the next budget. That is $6 million public dollars to potentially support messages you may even find offensive. This bill would publicly fund any and all so-called candidates for governor who can find 1000 people to give them $5. Anyone with a political message to spread can raise $5000 this way and would receive $625,000 in taxpayer funds in the primary to help spread their message, whether or not a serious candidate for governor. If this bill were ever funded, some \"candidates\" could receive over $100 in matching funds for every $1 they raise on their own. In addition, advertising by any group opposed to the hate message would entitle the \"candidate\" to additional public funding equal to that spent by any group opposed to the hate message.
