The Campaign Finance Institute has convened a Blue Ribbon Task Force on Financing Presidential Nominations. The Task Force, which organized the hearings, is analyzing the performance of the public funding system, including the impact of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (BCRA).
Mr. Brooks's testimony at the Campaign Finance Institute shows that the Natural Law Party continues to be a significant force in the shaping of U.S. public policy. |
