Voting with Dollars: A New Paradigm for Campaign Finance

Former independent White House counsel Kenneth Starr joins constitutional scholars Bruce Ackerman and Doug Kmiec for the National Constitution Center's Inaugural John M. Templeton, Jr. Lecture on Economic Liberties and the Constitution. Bruce Ackerman will present the lecture. Starr makes remarks following the lecture. Douglas Kmiec moderates the event, which will include a question and answer session with the audience. Ackerman says that his proposal for campaign finance reform uses the "virtues of the market system" to promote the economic liberty of all, permitting people to contribute to political campaigns without intrusive regulation. Dr. John M. Templeton, Jr. has established the John M. Templeton, Jr. Lecture on Economic Liberties and the Constitution at the National Constitution Center to create a public forum to explore in detail the economic liberties provided by the Constitution. Located on Philadelphia's historic Independence Mall, the National Constitution Center is an independent, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to increasing public understanding of the U.S. Constitution and its relevance to Americans' daily lives.
