Sen. Bernie Sanders Introduces Abolish Super PACs Act

Published | Video Starts at 04:23

We have to get super PACs out of elections, and in my view, we have to move to public funding of elections. Today, the legislation that Representative Lee and I are introducing begins to do just that. Specifically, The Abolish Super PACs act would limit individual super PAC contributions to $5,000. Billionaires would not be able to pour huge amounts of money into super PACs, and it would end the era of unlimited spending and putting. Put power back into the hands of the people. (04:23–04:31)

CLAIM

Asserts that the Abolish Super PACs act would cap super PAC contributions at $5,000.
