Howard Dean says he is opting out of the public campaign financing plan:
Dean is the first Democrat in history to forgo the taxpayer-financed system that encourages small donations by matching them with federal funds, freeing him to exceed the $45-million spending cap that comes with the money. Dean said he was forced to opt out to compete with President Bush, who already had said he would forgo matching funds and that he, (Pres. Bush), was aiming to raise $175 million before the Republican National Convention in September 2004.
