To: San Diego Union Tribune Letters to the Editor

You published a recent letter regarding campaign finance reform. Having just finished the recent election cycle I would like to agree that campaign financing is a major issue. The amount of money needed to fund campaigns keeps growing. With that growth, the power of wealthy individuals, corporations and organizations grows. An example is the problem of climate change. Scientists have known since the 70s that increasing CO2 emissions are a serious problem. We have the technology to produce electricity by means other than burning fossil fuels, yet CO2 emissions continue to increase every year. The wealth and political power of the fossil fuel industry is the major reason we can do so little to combat climate change. Changing the way we finance election campaigns is the only way to reduce the political power of wealth.
