Sanctimonious Pelosi

Pelosi has been an outspoken advocate of campaign finance reform and Shays-Meehan, the companion bill to the McCain-Feingold legislation, that became law. In January 2002, she asserted, “One threat to our Constitution, indeed to our participatory democracy, is the role of the special interest money in the political process today.”

At an April 2002 kick-off event in San Francisco to the so-called Campaign Finance Victory Tour, Common Cause President Scott Harshbarger proclaimed, “The cynics in Washington said we couldn’t beat the entrenched power of big money, and thanks to courageous, independent people like Nancy Pelosi, we started the job.”

Pelosi complained of “extremists in the Republican Party who have repeatedly tried to undermine campaign finance reform” and of “sneaky tactics employed by the Republicans” to weaken Shays-Meehan.
