Bill: Campaign Finance Reform
Details
Submitted by[?]: Aldurian Communist Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: September 3603
Description[?]:
| Due to the increased spending that has been passed of late, many due to bill proposed and passed by this Party, we believe that we will have to cut some spending to afford to keep paying for the programs we have created. One place to cut such spending would be the government funding of campaigns. |

Proposal[?] to change Public financing of political campaigns
