what about this for campaign finance reform:
Matching funds.
For every dollar you spend on your campaign - you have to give a dollar to a hospital, cure for a disease, shelter, clinic or to the poor.
We can leave out religion (although they tend to lead the way on hospitals, shelters and care for the poor). We can leave out giving money to non-profits that don't fall into one of those categories.
We're just going to match the money you're spending ripping on the other candidate - and take that money to help people out.
Let's take it the next step. If you spend money buying a political bumper sticker - you have to spend an equal amount of money helping the helpless.
If you buy a political t-shirt (because what better way to persuade someone than a t-shirt?) you have to buy a shirt for someone who can't afford to clothe themselves.
Two things are accomplished - I don't have to watch horrible commercials, look at as many silly signs, or bumperstickers....and we help some people out.
win win
