Reply #22: I will be happy, but politics shouldn't be legislated in "stealth mode"! [View All]

It should be a participatory process for the people to be involved in and for us all to help be a part of that process for a decision this big. We can't and shouldn't always be "trusting" people to do things well for us behind closed doors. That's not the way things should work.

I'll send my thanks to Obama, but I'll also be DEMANDING public campaign financing legislation be put in place immediately, so that we no longer have to endure these sort of "stealth" gamesmanship that we've had to endure through this whole issue's life, whether we win or lose.

In the future if we get a system in place where we can feel we have all of our party's members line up and vote for what they feel truly is best for the people (kind of like Anthony Weiner has been talking of late), at that point I think that the campaign financing part perhaps is then working. But we're a long ways away from that, and therefore win or lose, we still have a real lame system to fix!
