Money and fund raisers should be out? How do you expect candidates to pay for campaigns? It takes a lot more money than most realize just to run for even a local election....

So you enjoy all those endless attack ads, you wanting more of them?
How about the media that is using the PUBLIC AIRWAYS give all candidates FREE air time, and print space, based on the number of petition signatures they collect in that state.

How about a public pool of campaign donations to be spread to each candidate? That way, it doesn't matter if the PAC donates one dollar or ten million dollars, it all gets passed around.
Of course, we'd have to limit our election season to something closer to three months before elections, instead of almost a full year.

A preliminary injunction request was submitted to declare funds given to PACs as questionable.
This is part of a lawsuit to deem funds excessive and prohibited using three different legal arguments.
PACs will have to return funds in excess of individual contributions if granted.
How do you vote?
why not? after all maybe we can make it so public unions are not able to support any political candidate as well.
