"Bipartisan legislation was introduced in Congress this week that would help tip the balance of political power back toward the people and away from wealthy special interests.
Reps. John Sarbanes (D-Md.) and Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) are the primary sponsors of the Government by the People Act (H.R. 20), which aims to expand small-dollar donors' participation in congressional elections.
Introduced Feb. 5, the measure already has 128 co-sponsors who run the gamut politically from liberal Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) to conservative Rep. Walter Jones (R-N.C.). That's over half the votes needed to win."
