Clinton Backs Constitutional Amendment on Campaign Finance 
-----------------------------------------------------------


 
Hillary Rodham Clinton has kicked off her bid for the Democratic
presidential nomination with her first formal campaigning in Iowa.
Outlining her agenda, Clinton told supporters she backs a constitutional
amendment to get "unaccountable money" out of politics.

Hillary Rodham Clinton: "We need to build the economy of tomorrow, not
yesterday. We need to strengthen families and communities, because
that's where it all starts. We need to fix our dysfunctional political
system and get unaccountable money out of it once and for all, even if
that takes a constitutional amendment. And we need to protect our
country from the threats that we see and the ones that are on the
horizon. So I'm here in Iowa to begin a conversation about how we do
that."
