Clinton Campaign to Accept Lobbyist Donations

The campaign for Hillary Clinton confirmed Thursday that the former Secretary of State will accept political donations from lobbyists and political action committees during her 2016 presidential bid.
The move is consistent with how Clinton ran her 2008 campaign, but it was a policy difference that Obama used as an effective attack at the time.
Obama's campaign purposefully did not accept donations from federally registered lobbyists and also prohibited lobbyists from serving as bundlers.
On her first campaign stop in Iowa on Tuesday, Clinton said she supports a constitutional amendment to get “unaccountable money” out of the country’s “dysfunctional political system.”
However, Democratic supporters said outside money is necessary until the law is changed to compete effectively against PACs supporting Republican candidates.
Jesse Ferguson, a spokesperson handling day-to-day press affairs for the Clinton camp stated that; despite Clinton's support for campaign finance reform, she will need resources to fight back.
