Campaign reform lacks House votes

THURSDAY, JULY 11, 2001 On the eve the House is set to debate a bill to reform how political parties raise campaign funds, proponents said they don't have enough votes to see the measure pass. The bill, sponsored by Reps. Martin T. Meehan (D-Mass.) and Christopher Shays (R-Conn.), would ban soft money contributions to political parties. It is similar to a measure which passed the Senate and is largely opposed by Republicans. Yet an alternative which is supported by Republicans doesn't appear to have the votes either. In either case, proponents of each bill have spent time wooing those lawmakers who may be on the fence, including Hispanic and African-American members. Get the Story:
