Jimmy Carter calls for return to publicly financed elections

44. Why haven't I heard a word attacking Republins on this in Democratic campaigns?

"Rep. David E. Price (D-N.C.) sponsored a bill to reform the system to bring it in line with modern election costs, but the measure has fierce Republican opposition."

Thank you David Price (I just called his office to say thanks).

Why haven't we heard this issue as a campaign issue attacking Republicans for opposition in Democratic campaigns?

I don't mean the very general support for reform - Bernie has loudly supported that, Hillary has said she supports it also.

But Republicans are BLOCKING it and I haven't heard a word asking voters to oppose them for that - why not?

I think Democrats need to get lot better about holding Republicans accountable for obstructionism.

I hear about the issue from news and pundits but rarely from Democratic candidates. I think they should campaign on it.
