Campaign Finance Reform....

Reading another thread got me thinking about this again, so I did a search for it.

...we get a simple piece of legislation that says members of Congress cannot take anything of value from anyone other than a family member. No lunches. No taxi rides. No charter flights. No golf games. No ski trips. No nothing.

Next comes the campaign part. I propose a complete ban on money-raising by incumbents. You read that right. No president or member of Congress could accept a single red cent from individuals, corporations or special interests. Period.

This is from an old article, written way back in 1997, and if it had been given the support it SHOULD have been given, we would be a lot better off than we are now!! Unfortunately, even the Democrats didn't support it, the only way I even heard about it was a short interview on NPR!!

Oh, by the way, who came up with this plan??? None other than James Carville, well-known Democrat strategitst.
