Dalawang-libo at walo ang taon na ang mga bunga ng lumalalang sistematikong katiwalian ng pulitika ng Amerika ay naging pang-araw-araw na mga ulo ng balita, at ang ating mahabang pambansang pagpapabaya sa pampublikong etika at pananagutan ay naging imposibleng balewalain:<\/p><p>Ang paghatol kay Jack Abramoff ng isa pang apat na taon sa bilangguan dahil sa pakikipagsabwatan sa mga tiwaling opisyal ng publiko.<\/p><p>Ang pagbagsak ni dating Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK), na ang mahaba, maginhawang relasyon sa mga tagalobi ay kilala sa loob ng maraming taon, ngunit natapos lamang pagkatapos ng legal na pag-uusig at paghatol;<\/p><p>The arrest of Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D) for trying to sell Barack Obama's U.S. Senate seat, extort campaign cash from a children's hospital and hand out government favors to big contributors;<\/p><p>The collapse of the mortgage giants after Congress - which reaped millions from Wall Street in campaign cash - deregulated the industry and ignored repeated warnings of disaster.<\/p><p>Ang mga patuloy na paghahayag ng maling paggastos ng bilyun-bilyong pampublikong dolyar, na kadalasang iginagawad sa pamamagitan ng hindi sapat na mga proseso ng pagkontrata, sa Iraq, ang resulta ng Katrina, at sa ibang lugar; at<\/p><p>The withdrawal of New Mexico Gov.

Blagojevich, Stevens at iba pa ay maaaring makulong, ngunit ang tunay na salarin ay ang pay-to-play na sistemang pampulitika kung saan binili at ibinebenta ang pampulitikang akses at impluwensya.<\/p><p>Common Cause is proposing a major reform package that, if enacted, will strike at the heart of this corrupting system and culture. Our \"Clean Government for Change\" package would:<\/p><ol><li>Ipagbawal ang mga kontribusyon ng tagalobi, bundling at pangangalap ng pondo para sa mga miyembro ng Kongreso at ng Pangulo;<\/li><li>Magpatibay ng mga batas na pay-to-play na istilo ng Connecticut sa antas ng estado, upang ipagbawal ang mga kontribusyon sa kampanya at pangangalap ng pondo ng mga tagalobi at kontratista ng gobyerno.<\/li><li>Lumikha ng isang bagong sistema ng pananalapi ng kampanya na nagbibigay-daan sa mga kandidato na nanunumpa ng pera para sa espesyal na interes na magpatakbo ng masiglang mga kampanya sa kumbinasyon ng maliliit na pribadong kontribusyon at pampublikong pondo;<\/li><\/ol><p>Ang kasalukuyang kulturang pay-to-play na nangingibabaw sa pulitika ng Amerika ay nagbabanta na nakawin ang pagbabagong binoto ng mga tao sa mga record number noong 2008. Nalaman ng aming poll sa bisperas ng eleksyon na 77 porsiyento ng mga botante ang naniniwala na ang malalaking kontribusyon sa kampanya ay pipigil sa Kongreso sa pagharap sa mga kritikal na isyu kinakaharap ng bansa, tulad ng krisis sa ekonomiya, pangangalaga sa kalusugan at pag-init ng mundo. At 70 porsiyento ay naniniwala na ang pag-asa sa malalaking kontribusyon sa kampanya mula sa industriya ng pagbabangko ay isang pangunahing kadahilanan sa pag-trigger ng krisis sa pananalapi. (Lake Research Partners, Nob. 3-4, 2008)<\/p><p>America's current system of campaign financing is a continuing invitation to more, and even worse, scandals at every level of government. It erodes one of the most essential components of healthy democracy: Public trust in its core institutions. Today, our system is widely seen as inherently corrupt and unable to deal with real issues. It invites public cynicism because those who want something from government - whether it's a tax break, a lucrative contract, or favorable legislation - make the largest contributions to political campaigns.<\/p><p>It is difficult to tell the difference between legal contributions to political candidates and contributions made with an express quid pro quo. Today's big-money-fueled campaign finance systems create an environment ripe for corruption involving the promise of campaign contributions in return for specific government action, whether in the form of regulations or government contracts. As Congress prepares to pass perhaps a $1 trillion stimulus package that will feature road work and other infrastructure projects in the states, we are likely to see this pay-to-play culture get even worse.<\/p><p>Maraming mga tagalobi, na nagtatrabaho upang maimpluwensyahan ang batas na nakakaapekto sa kanilang mga kliyente, ay malalim na kasangkot sa proseso ng pangangalap ng pondo para sa mga pampublikong opisyal. Sa pambansang antas, ang mga tagalobi ay kumikilos bilang mga bundler, na gumaganap ng tungkulin ng pangangalap ng pondo para sa isang kandidato sa pamamagitan ng paghingi ng mga kontribusyon mula sa mga kaibigan at kasama, na nagpapahintulot sa kanila na maghatid ng malaking halaga ng pera sa (mga) kandidato.<\/p><p>Today, state legislators and members of Congress must daily walk a fine line in order to avoid the appearance that they are favoring their large donors. Worse yet, the system has evolved to where lawmakers who serve on committees with jurisdiction over specific issues and sectors of the economy now receive much of their campaign money from the very industries they are supposed to regulate. Conversely, politicians, such as Gov. Blagojevich, are tempted to actively \"sell\" access and government favors in return for contributions.<\/p><p>Ang pinakahuling solusyon ay para sa mga estado at pederal na pamahalaan na lumikha ng isang boluntaryong sistema ng pampublikong pagpopondo kung saan ang mga kandidato ay nagpapatakbo ng mga masiglang kampanya na pinondohan ng kumbinasyon ng maliliit na kontribusyon at limitadong pampublikong dolyar.<\/p><p>Common Cause and its allies have developed a new campaign finance model that combines the best from successful state public financing systems - such as the \"Clean Elections\" laws in Connecticut, Arizona, Maine, North Carolina and New Mexico, as well as matching funds systems in Minnesota and New York City - and Internet-base small-donor fundraising strategies.<\/p><p>This 21st Century approach - which focuses on changing the source of campaign funding instead of spending limits - will allow candidates who swear off special interest money to run for office on a blend of small donations and limited public funds. Bipartisan legislation is being prepared now that adopts this approach to modernize the outdated presidential public financing system and to create a new program for Congress.<\/p><p>Ang aming agarang repormang pakete para sa Amerika ay magtatayo rin ng mga pader sa pagitan ng mga mambabatas at ng mga pribadong interes na naglalayong bilhin ang kanilang mga boto, sa pamamagitan ng pagpapatibay ng mga partikular na batas sa pay-to-play. Dahil sa malawak na hanay ng mga kumpanyang nakikipagnegosyo sa mga estado at pederal na pamahalaan, ito ay isang mahirap na hamon, ngunit ito ay kritikal sa gawaing putulin ang koneksyon sa pagitan ng malaking pera at pulitika.<\/p><p>Noong 2005, bilang tugon sa mga pangunahing iskandalo sa buong estado, pinagbawalan ng mga mambabatas sa Connecticut ang mga tagalobi, mga kontratista ng estado, at mga inaasahang kontratista ng estado na gumawa ng mga kontribusyon sa mga pambatasan at pambuong estadong opisina. Noong Disyembre 2008, pinagtibay ng isang hukom ng Korte ng Distrito ng Estados Unidos ang pagbabawal sa mga kontribusyon mula sa mga tagalobi at mga kontratista na gumagawa ng trabaho sa pamahalaan ng estado, na nakitang:<\/p><p>In light of Connecticut's recent history of corruption scandals involving high-ranking state politicians, I conclude that the legislature had a constitutional, sufficiently important interest in combating actual and perceived corruption by eliminating contributions from individuals with the means and motive to exercise undue influence over elected officials.<\/p><p>Pagkatapos ng mga iskandalo sa New Jersey, nagpasa ang lehislatura ng mas mahihigpit na batas sa pay-to-play na naglalagay ng mga bagong paghihigpit sa mga kontribusyon ng mga for-profit na entity na mayroon o naghahanap ng mga kontrata ng gobyerno sa New Jersey. Nalalapat ang mga paghihigpit na ito sa mga kontrata sa antas ng pamahalaan ng estado, county, at munisipyo.<\/p><p>Sa Illinois, si Gov. Blagojevich ay di-umano&#039;y humingi ng malalaking kontribusyon sa kampanya mula sa mga kontratista ng estado bago magkabisa ang isang pay-to-play na batas noong Enero 1, na magbabawal sa mga kontribusyon mula sa mga negosyong gumagawa ng kontrata sa estado na higit sa $50,000.<\/p><p>The solution is not simply better enforcement of current law, or even merely more transparency for more transactions between officials and interested parties. Those are important elements, of course, but the root of the problem is the system itself - a system that has been nurtured and protected by the handful of interests who for decades have benefited the most, usually at the expense of the average taxpayer. Simply put, we need reforms that eliminate the near-addictive need for massive campaign donations.<\/p><p>Tatapusin ng aming pakete ang malaganap na salungatan ng interes sa kasalukuyang sistema, magbubukas ng pinto sa mas maraming mamamayan sa proseso ng elektoral sa pamamagitan ng paghikayat sa maliliit na donasyon, at ibabalik ang sukat ng kumpiyansa sa integridad ng ating mga institusyon at ng mga taong naglilingkod sa kanila.<\/p>"}}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.6 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
