Campaign Finance Reform

No, not the way it has been done...

A constitutional amendment: If you are not a registered to vote, you can not contribute to anyone's campaign

No more PACs, no more Unions, no more Corporations, no more Public Officials working for them... Public officials would have to work for *US*.

We need to change the way things work. If we have to change the constitution to prevent the USSC from declaring that unions have a right to contribute money to campaigns, fine, lets do it. If we have to change the constitution from allowing multinational corporations from contributing to campaigns, lets do it.

A union can not vote. Its members can, FINE.

A corporation can not vote. Its shareholders and employees can, FINE.

This is the root cause of 98% of our current problem. We are being taxed without representation. Our elected officials would be forced to go to the populace of registered voters to get donations. It would stimulate registration. It would stimulate voting. It would stimulate action in the interest of the voters, rather than in the interest of organizations that could care less about anything but their own special interests.

OK. Its been said. WHO will do it??? Tom Tancredo? It is going to take a real maverick, not a fake maverick who claims to want reform but continues to take from those who currently run the system.

Illegal aliens marching in the street would have ZERO effect on legislators who respond to registered voters. Corporate trips would not be allowed if registered voters directed legislators to ban such activities. Environmental extremists would have the sway of their registered voter base...about 4% of the population. Homosexual activists would get their fair share...about 2% at best. A registered voter, and donor, would get a representative response from their elected official. Ever write your congressman and get a call right back??? Try donating $100K from corporate funds and see how long it takes to get a call back!!! That IS the problem, and I am telling you,

This IS the answer
