Progress
Where this resolution reached, and when. A stage with no date was not reached; one that failed a vote and later carried shows the date it carried. A simple resolution is the business of one chamber alone: it is not sent to the other chamber or to the President, and does not become law.

Summary
Expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that in order to eliminate the undue influence of money in politics:
- Congress should create a small donor and public finance system for congressional elections, which will ensure that Congress is responsible to voters instead of well-financed special interests; and
- Members of Congress should devote their full time to regular order and governing instead of campaign fundraising.
