When it comes to campaign finance limits, should there be a legal distinction between individuals, on the one hand, and corporations and unions, on the other? In this edition of the Journal, Bill Moyers listens to arguments for and against campaign finance reform from Trevor Potter, founding president and general counsel of The Campaign Legal Center, and Floyd Abrams, a partner and member of the executive committee at Cahill, Gordon, and Reindel. The program concludes with an essay that draws attention to the state of the health care reform discourse and makes a plea to the president to follow through and drive home a health care policy that offers a government option. Broadcast date: September 4, 2009. (56 minutes)
