Until such time as this becomes mandatory for all candidates, we small donors should not be prohibited from participating in campaign contributions. Big corporation/business donations become political liability. We need clean elections with public funding to eliminate this corporate leverage/expectation that candidates are beholden to because of such campaign contributions. Help us keep it clean by allowing donations from small donors.

One point that I think gets lost in most discussions of clean money campaigns is: it will probably mean no new taxes. Publicly-funded campaigns will cost us, the taxpayers, less than lobbiest-funded campaigns because after the campaigning ALL of our taxes will go for OUR benefit. There will be no sweet deals, no-bid contracts, $500 hammers, or pay-offs. Our taxes will be give us more bang for the buck, because there will be no one else our representatives will be answering to.

They seem to be very responsive. What do you know about them? Cordially, Stair Tue, 08 Aug 2006 08:14:04 -0500
