WA: Cantwell re-issues her pledge to not accept PAC $

With this task infront of us: we may have to set up fundraising efforts on this site. It's a very noble thing she has pledged and we should support her.


Cantwell is launching an aggressive fund-raising schedule to collect about $13 million.

The former high-tech executive's efforts are made harder by her 2000 promise to refuse money from political-action committees, or PACs.

Cantwell said she is forsaking PAC money as part of her focus on campaign-finance reform, and she wants to spend her time talking to regular Washingtonians instead of D.C. fat cats.
