Do you believe that large donors have too much influence on our elections? Join this class to review the role of money in our political system and explore with expert guests not only the issue and the implications for public policy, but also how citizen advocates can raise their voices for change. Entry points for action include getting legislation passed in our Virginia General Assembly and supporting on the federal level the passage of an amendment to our Constitution allowing Congress and the states to regain their rights to regulate election spending.

Cosponsored by Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at George Mason University (OLLI Mason).
