Nation
Senate Passes Finance Reform
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - The Senate
approved landmark legislation Monday
to reduce the influence of big money in
political campaigns, capping a fierce, six
year struggle that catapulted Sen. John
McCain, R-Ariz., to national prominence.
The 59-41 vote sent the measure to
the House, where a tough fight is expect
ed, even though similar bills have been
approved twice in recent years. Beyond
that, President Bush has not said defini
tively whether he will sign the bill, and,
if the measure is approved, a court chal
lenge to its constitutionality is a certainty.
Still, supporters hailed the Senate’s
action as a signal that campaign finance
laws are likely to be changed for the first
time since the Watergate era. Passage
will “put a lasting mark on the record of
democracy,” said Sen. Russ Feingold,
the leading Democratic supporter.
The legislation “will let us get away
from the obscene money chase,” said
Sen. Paul Wellstone, D-Minn.
“I asked at the start of this debate for
my colleagues to take a risk for
America,” said McCain a few moments
before the roll was called. “In a few min
utes, I believe we will do just that. I will
go to my grave deeply grateful for the
honor of being part of it.”
Not everyone was pleased with the
outcome.
“The bill is fatally unconstitutional,”
said Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who
fought to the end against a bill he has
long opposed as an infringement on free
speech. In addition, he said, “The under
lying theory is that there is too much
money in politics, in spite of the fact that
last year Americans spent more on pota
to chips than they did on politics.”
The roster of opponents grew by one
Democrat, as Sen. Ernest Hollings of
South Carolina attacked the bill as
unconstitutional and said it would weak

enhancing special interests.
Voting for the measure were 47
Democrats and 12 Republicans. There
were 38 Republicans and 3 Democrats
opposed. The legislation would ban so
called soft money, typically five- and
six-figure contributions to political par
ties by unions, corporations and indi
viduals. Republicans and Democrats
combined took in nearly SSOO million in
such funds in the last two years.
It also would ban certain types of
broadcast advertising close to an elec
tion. In addition, the bill would raise
limits on contributions that candidates
and political parties can use for direct
campaign expenses, the first increases
since legislation was enacted in the wake
of the Watergate scandal of the 19705.
The existing SI,OOO limit on donations
to candidates would rise to $2,000 per
election, and an individual would be
permitted to give $75,000 to all candi
dates and parties combined over a two
year election cycle, up from $25,000.
No date has been set for House consid
eration of the issue, but supporters have
said they hope for a vote later this spring.
