Banning political donations from companies and organizations was one of the promises in the DPJ’s manifesto for the recent House of Representatives election. To bring this and other reforms about, Ozawa intends to call on both ruling and opposition parties to submit lawmaker-sponsored legislation to drastically revise the Public Offices Election Law and the Political Funds Control Law during an ordinary Diet session next year, the sources said. The DPJ also plans to consider setting a cap on the amount of money that can be spent on election campaigns, based on a system introduced in Britain.

He was glad to see that they had come out early in the first period and hit some people. “Hopefully we get to string all three periods together and dominate like we should,” Hodge said. CSUF came out firing in the third period. They took a great shots on goal but were either bounced loudly off the crossbar or saved just in a split second reaction by Utah goalie AJ Boldan. The game was tied by Utah for- ward Mike Harrelson, when he hus- tled down the ice from goal-to-goal to score before Miller could react to the puck. Shortly after, the Titans dusted off their shoulders and took command when senior forward Kyle Oyama blasted a goal into the net from a powerful slap-shot in front of the blue line. CSUF’s last goal was from another deflection off the goal- ie and was scored by Webb, a goal needed for leverage. With 4:43 left to play in the game, Utah called a timeout to strategize but did not succeed in scoring. Out of desperation, they pulled their goalie in the final minute of play to allow another man to skate the ice in an attempt to score, they did this with thirty-one seconds left. But it was too little too late, and the Ti- tans sent the Yutes back home with a loss. The Titans may have won by three goals, but two of them were waved off by the referees due to a shot made with an illegal man in the crease.
