"The statistics in the Color of Money demonstrate
the point we all know intuitively: communities of color and the
poor are severely underrepresented because of their inability
to keep pace with the campaign contributions from wealthier,
non-minority communities. The disparity underscores why legislators
spend 100 hours on telecommunications reform and 10 hours on
welfare reform."
-Dr. William E. Spriggs, Executive Director, National
Urban League Institute for Opportunity and Equality
