Senator William A. Proxmire urges Congress to tighten laws on campaign contributions and spending amid rising media costs and the growing influence of money in elections. He cites large sums and party contributions by a convicted con man and costly gubernatorial races as evidence that politics has become a wealth based national scandal. Proxmire warns Presidents may need to be millionaires, arguing for reforms to curb fundraising excesses.
