Kucinich Announces new Constitutional Amendment
« on: January 20, 2012, 11:14:18 pm »
...To make all Federal elections publicly financed.

http://kucinich.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=275443

Quote
H.J. Res.100 would require that all federal campaigns –all campaigns for President, Vice-President, Senator and Representative – be financed exclusively with public funds and prohibit any expenditures from any other source, including the candidate. H. J. Res. 100 would also prohibit any expenditures in support of, or in opposition to, any federal candidate, so that interest groups will not be able to influence elections. It will maintain the First Amendment “freedom of the press” and preserve the traditional role that the media have played in our electoral process.

Let the corporate lobbying begin!

That... is a reasonable-sounding amendment and a solution to the corrupt Super-PAC situation we have today.

That bill is so fucked.

As much as my heart hopes the amendment passes, my brain knows it won't happen. But hey, the worst that can happen is that they say no, so I say try anyway.

Ironbite-good idea...wrong era.

and this is pretty much why we're fucked.

We have a great sounding bill so naturally it hasn't got a chance.

And no I am not bitching at people for saying this. I think it's fucked too.

But what's going to happen to this country if any bill that could fix it never has a chance?

Now lets see if it passes and gets rid of the corruption.

It seems petitions are going up in droves to remove the ruling. For example sanders.senate.gov/petition/?uid=f1c2660f-54b9-4193-86a4-ec2c39342c6c democracyisforpeople.org (on the left side of the page) www.change.org/petitions/repeal-citizens-united-end-corporate-personhood  just for a few.

Kucinich has a bunch of fantastic ideas- Department of Peace, anyone?- and therefore has no support from his party.

I’m certain Feingold would have. Too bad Wisconsin came down with a case of Terminal Dumbness.
