Links to Campaign Finance Reform Web Sites The links to web sites listed on this page will provide a wide range of information related to efforts to bring reform to the way we finance political campaigns. For a guide to money in US Politics and campaign funds for candidates, visit the Center for Public Integrity, the Open Secrets, The Capital Eye, Democracy Net Oregon, Money in Politics Research Action Project (MiPRAP) and the Follow the Money web sites. The Voters Net web site is an important resource for Oregonians interested in campaign finance reform. The Stop Big Money web site from Colorado also has a number of interesting articles on the subject. Common Cause has been a major force in the struggle for campaign finance reform for many years. The Alliance for Better Campaigns advocates free air time to political candidates. The National Issues Forum deals with a number of issues that include media and campaigns. The International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance has another important web site that deals with campaign finance issues. Cobb24.com has lists of corporations that have made campaign donations and their recipients. PoliticalMoneyLineİ is one of the best sites for tracking money in politics. Public Campaign and its related web sites - HowDareThey.org, KennysKids.org, and Ouch.org - are devoted to campaign finance reform and removing corruption from politics. The National Institute on Money in State Politics is "the independent source of information on campaign contributions in state politics for reporters, researchers and the general public." Campaign Reform is a good source for information on campaign finance reform. For views on corporations and how they impact campaign financing visit the web site for Programs on Corporations, Law and Democracy (POCLAD). Corporate Europe Observatory is similar to POCLAD above and views the "threats to democracy, equity, social justice and the environment posed by the economic and political power of corporations and their lobby groups" from a European perspective. The Institute for Policy Studies - At a time when other think tanks celebrate the virtues of unrestrained greed, unlimited wealth, and unregulated markets, IPS is striving to create a more responsible society - one built around the values of justice, nonviolence, sustainability, and decency. IPS, as I.F. Stone once said, is "an Institute for the rest of us." Visit Greg Palast's web site for campaign-related articles, especially his reports on the 2000 presidential election. Open Secrets is another site that tracks money in politics. White House for Sale is maintained by Public Citizen to track campaign donations to the Bush re-election campaign. |
