Issue #3 in Mckenna and Feingold is entitled "Are the New Limits on Campaign Spending Justified?". Paul D Wellstone, A Democratic senator from Minnesota believes that yes they are justified. He believes that the new limits are "an enormous step forward" in decreasing the excess power of wealthy special interests in U.S. elections. On the other hand, John Samples, director of the Cato Institute's Center for Representative Government, believes that the new limits will "reduce voter turnouts, make it more difficult for challengers to win against incumbents, and stifle free speech". After reading both arguments, for and against the new campaign finance reform, I would tend to agree with Paul D. Wellstone in that these new limits are very justifiable and beneficial.
