Clean Elections: Maine Legislature
With a combination of Citizen's United and a severe cut to state funding for clean elections, Maine has become yet another state that is run by the GOP and big corporations. The new legislature needs to reverse this trend among states.
Why is this important?
In the last two years, as a result of the majority GOP legislature, Maine's clean elections have been virtually "wiped" out. This makes it very difficult for middle class citizens to run for our citizen political offices.
