I think that is absolutely part of the public finance option. It would also limit campaign advertising to 3 months before an election. we should never have another 2 year primary and election season.
This will meet great resistance from CNN, MSNBC, FOX, CBS, and ABC, because that is how they make their money.
I am not sure I agree. What I had heard of the doctrine was about if a R talks for 10 then a D must talk for roughly 10 minutes.
But that keeps 3rd parties out and/or makes the someone have to determine what the balance is to a point of view?
This more to say that during elections those who want to run get air time and everyone who meets a certain standard, it gets 1000 signatures and 5000 bucks can have access to public dollars and everyone gets the same amount to run.
All politics here, there anywhere, are crooked,unlawful.illegal, and we the blissfully stupid ignorant slobs keep sticking them in office to keep stealing,robbing,and finding more and more blatant ways of doing it. Heres the big FINGER!!!!
