		<description><![CDATA[One would like to think that the court will eventually admit the folly of its 2010 ruling and reverse it. But we can’t wait that long.

		<title>ACR Co-Chair Alan Simpson Speaks Out In Support of Maine&#8217;s Clean Elections Law</title>

As a former U.S. Senator and co-chair of Americans for Campaign Reform, I applaud the people of Maine and Maine Citizens for Clean Elections for leading the effort to defend this important and proven program that puts voters in the driver’s seat of democracy."]]></description>
