These modern-day \"Rebels\" are carrying on the legacy of Granny D -- who famously walked across the United States to raise public support for the McCain-Feingold Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act.\r\nOpen Democracy works across partisan lines to educate and advocate for public funding of campaigns. Here in New Hampshire, voters of all political ideologies are concerned about donor influence: eight-out-of-ten of us believe special interests have more influence than voters. Almost two-thirds of voters support a system of public campaign funding that could balance the influence of Big Money in state elections -- including 50% of Republicans, 68% of Independents and 70% of Democrats.\r\nWe also support other reforms including redistricting, disclosure and protection of voters' rights." } ] } ] ```
