Under this bill, Washington communities will be able to enjoy these benefits, too. Continue reading

Instead – qualified candidates from every party would get an equal chance in TV, radio and printed ads, debates and appearances. This would allow other voices to be heard and the American voters to be aware of all of their choices. Continue reading
