I'm reintroducing a bill to establish a national Democracy Dollars voucher program that would empower everyday American voters to participate in the campaign finance system and reduce the outsized influence of mega donors and special interest groups. Here's how it works. Every eligible US citizen would get $200 in democracy dollars for each federal election, House, Senate, and Presidential. Then they can donate these funds in $10 increments to candidates they believe in. So when candidates need to raise money to hire staff and spread their message, they won't immediately turn to massive corporations and billionaires. (00:32–00:41)
