Question

select the text that has a more objective tone.
to fight back, congressman sarbanes has authored and introduced the government by the people act (h.r. 20)—a bold new legislation that returns voice and power back to the american people and ensures that congress works for the people’s interest, not special interests.
the legislation, the government by the people act, would offer the prospect of a 6 - to - 1 match for small donations that would kick in once a candidate raised $50,000 in small contributions from 1,000 people. that means a $50 check would be worth $350. the money would come from a public fund. sarbanes estimates it would require several hundred million dollars in taxpayer money each election.
from john fritze, “sarbanes models a different kind of election focused on small donors,” copyright 2014 by baltimore sun and from u.s. congressman john sarbanes, “the government by the people act (h.r. 20).”

Explanation:

The text from John Fritze (including the quote from Congressman John Sarbanes) presents factual information about the Government by the People Act, such as its provisions (matching small donations, public fund details, cost estimates) without overt persuasive or emotional language, making it more objective. The first text has a more promotional tone ("bold new legislation", "fights for the people's interest") which is less objective.
