I'd like to see campaign finance, investing (inside trading) and lobbing reform from dog catcher to the president.

As soon as money comes into the equation people are beholding (or can have the appearance of impropriety). I'd like to see a world where politicians serve the people, not themselves. How can a broke candidate become a millionaire in a handful of years? How can there not be decisions that aren't for the greater good in that situation?

I won't/can't comment on this local race but when you look at the donation and influence situation from a higher level this can't be what's best for everyone.

I rarely say anything here that's the least bit serious but this is one that I think could use some serious thought.


I'm not very happy that you all pulled me out of my 10 year old boy mindset for a minute but I'm going straight back as soon as I hit save
