The problem with all of that is that it's unconstitutional especially as it pertains to free speech. The trick is to allow all of that to take place, but take the benefit out of the spin and access. You can do that by: 1.) Allowing any commercial, ad, etc, but require a 15% time/space response to a non-partisan org like FactCheck.org. 2.) Allow lobbying, but only in front of the senate or for investigative purposes with appropriate rules. That is, remove individual access. 3.) Create a non-partisan investigative group similar to the SEC except for political offenses. 4.) Require federally/state funded elections thus taking the incentive out of election money. By doing this you don't violate anyone's right of free speech, but you also move elections from money driven to idea driven. The current system rewards great money raisers, not great idea makers. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:180024 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
