ADVOCATES for campaign reform hail Congress-

man Bob Brady (D-Phila.) for passing Fair Elections

alternative to special-interest donors.

At Constitution Center

Karl Rove, political

strategist and former sen-

ior adviser and deputy chief of

staff to President George W. Bush,

will join the National Constitution

Center tonight to discuss the ap-

proaching 2010 mid-term elec-

tions.

With Congress, numerous Gover-

nor's offices, and state houses up

for grabs, Rove will address the

political landscape, providing ex-

pert insight into polling, candi-

long-term implications of the No-

vember vote from the Republican

Party perspective.

Rove is a political strategist and

best-selling author of Courage and

Consequence. He was deputy

chief of staff and senior advisor to

President George W. Bush and is

fully steering the 2000 and 2004

Prior to working in the administra-

tion, Rove was president of Karl

Rove + Co., a public-affairs firm.

He is now a columnist for the Wall

Street Journal and Newsweek, as

well as a contributor to Fox News.

Tonight’s discussion will be at

6:30 at the Center, located at 525

Arch Street on Independence Mall

with Karl Rove” is the first of a

two-part series at the National

Constitution Center. An upcoming

companion program on the mid-

term elections will feature a

prominent Democratic political

analyst.

After addressing a rally of

Fair Elections support-

ers at the Rocky statue

beneath the Art Museum this

morning, Congressman Bob

Brady (D-Phila.) was presented

with commemorative boxing

gloves for his work as a

"Democracy Champ."

Last week, Brady’s House Ad-

ministration Committee ap-

proved the Fair Elections Now

Act. The bill, which would allow

candidates to ignore corpora-

tions and special interests and

run competitive campaigns by

relying on small donations from

their voters, will now go to the

House floor for a vote.

The Congressman said, “The

bill is designed to ensure elec-

tions are put back in the hands

of everyday working Americans,

instead of us relying on corpo-

rate lobbyists to fund our politi-

cal campaigns. If we are to

have a government that is fair,

effective and accountable, we

need to have a system in which

individual voters are as impor-

tant as corporate lobbyists.”

“With this committee vote, vot-

ers won and special interests

lost,” said David Donnelly, cam-

paign manager of the Cam-

paign for Fair Elections.

“Chairman Robert Brady and

his colleagues on the Commit-

tee must be commended for

their strong leadership on Fair

Elections, and for voting to

place government back into the

hands of the American people.”

The Fair Elections Now Act

would allow candidates to raise

donations of $100 or less from

their home state, which would

be matched on a four-to-one

basis. The system is funded by

the sale of broadcast spectrum,

with no cost to taxpayers.

Joining Donnelly in making the

presentation were several Dem-

ocratic ward leaders and repre-

sentatives of Common

Cause/Pennsylvania.

Congressman Patrick

Murphy (D-Phila.), who

was tagged with a

gloomy poll result last week, re-

ported a finding by a different

pollster today that should bring

a few smiles to the faces of his

campaign workers.

A Harstad Strategic Research

poll has Patrick Murphy up

three points over his opponent,

Mike Fitzpatrick. Murphy's lead

grows to five points among

those who said they will “defi-

nitely” vote in this election. He

enjoys an eight-point lead

among voters who cast ballots

in the 2006 elections.

This corresponds with a recent

Global Strategy Group poll,

which had Murphy up four

points, 47-43.
