You really want to get the gov't back working for the majority of the People? Public finance all elections for Congress and the Presidency. Making accepting contributions a jailable offense, because dirty money is ruling today.

I heard yesterday with Pawlinty, that if he won the primary to challenge Obama, it would cost him 1 BILLION bucks to win! 1 BILLION dollars for god's sake. There will be not strings attached to those donations, but ROPES. How in the hell can you expect these jackwags to represent the American People? You can't. And it is obvious, this money and politics has created a beast, that feeds on not green grass but green currency.

We gotta have real, and effective reforms in the election process. Give the media some tax breaks in exchange for them allowing equal time for each canidate, once a week 3 months prior to Nov of that election year. It't the public airwaves afterall! We own em. The People owns them.

Allow each canidate a few million bucks financed by taxes, and limit these fuckers. And pay extra attention, using the brightest lawyers, to alleviate the inevitable loopholes that always find their way in previous campaign reforms.

Only Draconian methods will put an end to this Oligarchy we have morphed into. Then we will have perhaps the first real representation of the American People in a long time, if ever.

Yup. Obama spent 2/3 of a billion dollars to get the White House, he'll spend more than that trying to keep it most likely. So it's understandable Pawlenty would say he'd need to spend a billion to match it. Think Obama isn't as much of a puppet to those who bought him?

Of course campaign finance is going to take those same greedy politicians who benefit the most from it to limit themselves. Think that's going to happen? Nope, until it all collapses around their heads they'll go right on as is.
