House GOP challenge President on taxpayer-funded campaign financing

House GOP members have issued a challenge to President Barack Obama to either join them in eliminating "wasteful" taxpayer financing of presidential campaigns or to opt into the system himself. In a letter to President Obama, 84 House Republicans — including Reps. Dan Lungren (R-CA) and Gregg Harper (R-MI), members of the Committee on House Administration — wrote that the President should either opt into the system that he “vigorously defends despite his own refusal to participate,” or join the GOP members in doing away with it.
