GOVERNMENT OF HAITI, STATE UNIVERSITY OF HAITI FACULTY OF SCIENCES, AND CLINTON FOUNDATION ANNOUNCE $7.3 MILLION TO HELP REBUILD HAITI'S FACULTY OF SCIENCES The Clinton Foundation, in collaboration with the Government of Haiti and the Faculty of Sciences (FDS) at the State University of Haiti (UEH), announced $7.3 million in funding to rebuild the main building at the Faculty of Sciences in Port-au-Prince.

One wealthy donor – along with the Republican National Committee – asked the Supreme Court to let him put even more money directly into political campaigns. The limit was $123,000 – more than double the median income in this country. He wanted to be able to give more. Today, the Supreme Court shattered one of the last remaining campaign finance laws on the books, giving individuals the green light to give up to $5.9 million to influence our elections. Become an activist and fight for what you want not just take what the government has to give.
