Someone posed a question to me and others as to what should be done,if anything, to straighten out the American GOV.

As complex as the question is, as there are so many angles to come from, ill start the conversation by giveing my input.

I think first and foremost should be Election Reform.

Big Bussiness needs to be out of American Politics. It creates biased situations based on greed and power, and in no small part is helping the shrinkage of the modern middle class.

To accomplish this, elections should be publically funded, and each candidate is to be given the same amount of funds in which to run their campaighn.

All those meeting the requirements to run for President, based on the current perameters required, and chooseing to run, will be given these funds and equal air time in all debates aired on any network.

No fees are to be paid by the taxpayers for this air time, as I am sure corp advertiseing dollars would more than fill the network coffers. But under no circumstances will any network be allowed to deny any candidate access to the debates.

What is accomplished by doing this?

Well for one it evens the playing feild for all involved, less funding for mudslinging, and it would bring new perspectives to the political ring. Also provides a wider choice for the people to choose from other than the standard two choices between bad and bad.

Second, no electorial college, elections should be based on popular vote, and popular vote alone, this makes every vote count.

Third, there is nothing wrong with counting votes by hand, technology is not needed in this regard. Further more with the Corporations out of elections it becomes harder for funding to become available to rig elections.

I am a firm believer in fixing the foundation instead of painting over cracked walls, and I think our election process is the foundation that needs to be repaired.

Lets open the door now to comments should anyone choose to make them.

No flames no name calling, lets have an adult conversation.

Peace.:smokin:
