Nallison and Gora clearly showcase how the American political process can refocus on satisfying the needs of its citizens sim- ply by returning authority to the political parties. Bettr Parties, Better Government points to the one campaign finance reform that can actually bring reform to American politics. -Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives This book brilliantly shows how and why campaign finance laws, white claiming to eliminate corruption and enhance fair elections, instead did little more than protect incumbents against electoral challenges. Whether the authors' creative proposals work remains to be seen. But this book changes the paradigm of thinking on this issue, and is now the ultimate source for anyone who cares about how a democracy should work. -Ira Glasser, former Executive Director of the American Civil Liberties Union Peter J.
