Creates a voluntary subsidy for candidates who enter primary elections –All funds candidates raise in amounts of $250 or less (if they raise $5000 in 20 different states) are matched by the federal government on Jan 1 of election year –If you take the federal money, you abide by overall and state by state spending restrictions (about $44 million in 2004) Public financing ($74 million in 2004) for presidential campaigns (with limits on campaign spending)
