   Tony Andersen, an intern for FairElections Oregon and a Planning, Public Policy and Management student at the University, said that he was attracted to the cause because it split across party lines. He also said he believes in the cause.
   
   "It's essential for the democratic system to be as fair as possible," said Andersen.
   ...
   "It's one of those issues that's not liberal and it's not conservative; it's bipartisan," said Tony Andersen. "I tend to stay away from radical issues, which was why I was attracted to this one."
   
   Andersen said that his experience has been enriching because, unlike other political internships where interns stand on street corners asking passersby for petition signature, he has become a part of the political process.
   
   But Andersen, and the other volunteers and interns for FairElections Oregon, still have to gather 250,000 signatures by November, 2006.
   ...
   Andersen said that he believes in campaign finance reform because it is about people power rather than party power.
