Democracy 21, the Brennan Center for Justice, the Campaign Legal Center, Common Cause, the League of Women Voters, Public Citizen, and U.S. PIRG have released a reform agenda for the 111th Congress. Their top priority is to reform the presidential campaign financing system and create a new public financing system for congressional elections. According to BNA Money and Politics ($$) the presidential public financing system could be overhauled "by providing greater amounts of public money, raising campaign spending limits to $500 million or more, and providing incentives—or even new, lower contribution limits—to promote smaller dollar campaign contributions." "While emphasizing the small-donor aspect of Obama's fundraising, the new system envisioned by reformers would attempt to curb the kind of high-dollar fundraising at which Obama also excelled during this year's campaign." The agenda also includes a list of other campaign finance, lobbying, and ethics issues that the groups will focus on. For example;

• Ensure that independent groups making expenditures for political television ads and other public communications are complying with federal campaign finance laws.
• Strengthen existing bundling disclosure rules to require federal candidates to disclose the total amount raised by each bundler, not just registered lobbyists.
• Make sure that congressional ethics and lobbying disclosures rules enacted in the Honest Leadership and Open Government Act are effectively enforced.
• Enact new reforms of the executive branch Office of Government Ethics.

Craig Holman of Public Citizen told BNA; "We'll get most of it."
