The solution to the barrage of campaign TV ads bashing us for months is to change politics.
Make the campaign last only six weeks, all candidates receive a set amount of money (i.e. $5,000) from a state fund. All special interest, lobbyists and union funding would be prohibited.
Politicians would not be able to “enrich” themselves.
Currently, the politicians care only about these special interests, their political aspirations, and care nothing about the citizens they are supposed to represent.

All it takes is you and me to demand change. Great change can happen.
Our government is “by the People, for the People” … not politicians enriching themselves and doing nothing. Term limits too!
Great idea! And each person should write and sign a "delivery performance promise statement" that is monitored and reported on by an independent oversight group.
