We Need a Constitutional Amendment to Fix our Election System!

so that you don't have to be a millionaire to run for office, why do we keep electing these rich ass holes?

Political adds must be restricted except for two weeks before an election, it is THE ONLY WAY to even the playing field. It sounds like in infringement on freedom of speech, yet you have to be rich or have access to lots of money to get tv ads. So why should only the rich have access to the most powerful media? That is the injustice, and that is what we must accomplish, because after Bush is gone, there will be someone else to take his place.

2. And while we are at it,

get rid of the electoral college, and truly go to one person, one vote (a pet peeve of mine for the last 25 years; 2000 would have been different....).
