McCain and Public Financing — UPDATEDNEW REPORT RELEASEDOn June 13, 2008, Campaign Money Watch released a new report, EMBEDDED OR IN BED? John McCain and His Lobbyist Problem, which lays out the financial entanglements and other relationships that exist between McCain and his cadre of 118 lobbyists who have represented some of America’s largest corporations — many of which have had business before the Senate Commerce Committee McCain once chaired — but now find themselves advising, staffing and raising money for McCain’s presidential campaign. The report is available online as a PDF. Below find reports on Sen. John McCain and the various positions he has held over the years on public financing of elections as well as a letter signed by over 9,000 citizens asking Sen McCain to support full public financing of elections if elected.
