Maine Clean Elections Act - Suggestions being taken

In light of a recent Supreme Court ruling in Arizona, which I blogged about on July 21, 2011, the Maine Governmental Ethics and Elections Commission is taking suggestions on how to improve Maine's Clean Election Act... especially the matching funds portion; a similar provision was held unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of AZ. At the Maine Commission's website, (at the top right of the opening page), you'll find the invitation to comment on the MCEA: however, it appears most of the links to information about the MCEA are broken. Here's a story with more information, and here's the email address to send your suggestions to the Commission:
