- What is meant by “public funding” of campaigns and how did Congress deal with this issue in FECA?

From 1904 through enactment of the Tillman Act, the FCPA (1910) and its amendments, the 1925 Amendments to FCPA, reformers pushed the same themes of true reform. Arguably with the passage of the 1974 Amendments to FECA those goals had been attained.
