OKAY,.....we all agree that politics and especially campaigning in America SUCKS!! Let's come up with idea's on how YOU would fix it. Here are a few of mine...some borrowed from other countries!!
1. Limit campaining to 30 days (4 weeks) BEFORE the election. No exceptions.
2. Limit total amount of spending to four MEEEEELion dollars!!(One million per week!) No exceptions,.Receipts req'd!! Anything left over is returned to the Gov't.
3. No private contributions allowed....only issued gov't funds can be used. (see # 2.)
4. Any private citizens who want to make a contribution to your campaign can make that donation payable to a CHARITY of the Candidates choice.....use that money to do something that will actually HELP people immediately...schools, hospitals, redcross, etc. Each candidate can list those donators and their donation amount on their website. (Donations to these charities will be allowed year round....no limits there.
5. Absolutely NO negative ads allowed.....tell us what you will do for US and HOW you will get it done...we want DETAILS,...no smoke and mirrors and diatribes on what the other person did or did not do. We don't care about that,....this is about what YOU will do for US.
6. Eliminate the electoral college,...he/she who gets the most popular votes WINS.
7. You MUST BE A LEGAL US Citizen to vote...proof required!!
anxious to hear your thoughts!
