(1/3) > >>

VirtualStranger:
...To make all Federal elections publicly financed.

--- 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!

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

That bill is so fucked.

ironbite:
Pretty much fucked before it can even breath.

Ironbite-good idea...wrong era.

kefkaownsall:
Well Sanders will support and maybe McCain and that's it.

Stormwarden:
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.
