It’s hard to follow your pigeon English, but it sounds like you think that billions of dollars won’t get you more exposure than $10 dollars? Really? I do agree with the NASCAR suit idea though.
Yeah, that’s because you don’t show up to a gun fight with a knife! That would be pretty stupid wouldn’t it? The reality is that Republicans are 100% staunchly anti-election reform and lots of blue dog Democrats are with them. We need to get the money out of elections while there is still any chance of doing so, otherwise look for some very dark times in this country. Both sides need to be weaned from the corporate tit and forced to stand on clear discussion of issues without distortions. Lobbying with $$$$ needs to go away.
@harleyquinn: You’ve taken off half the blinders. Now try the other side. You assume that voters act rationally and are capable of seeing through propaganda, distortions and lies. They are not. And the more money you have the more lies, distortions and propaganda you can put on the air. I’ll go along with some of your idea if you drop the idea that Obama is the only one doing it. The only solution is in removing ALL the money. Why would you insist on it being there when the result of big money is ALWAYS distortion, lies and propaganda? You say it “should be easy” to follow the money. It isn’t.

I’m speechless. Which is probably why my elected representatives don’t hear me.
