Elections for Sale

Bill Moyers interviews former chairman of the Federal Election Commission Trevor Potter, who advised John McCain during both his 2000 and 2008 presidential campaigns, and more recently has gained notoriety helping Steven Colbert form his super PAC and 501(c)(4).  An insider with a unique background, Potter explains current problems with campaign finance in everyday language - centering specifically on the effects of Citizens United and the meteoric rise of 501(c)(4)'s  in American elections.
