I for one am sick of the poor choices we have in candidates. Coundn't the government itself sponsor each qualified candidate itself by controlling the debates and the airing of them? This would allow more diversity in our elections and all the people could hear proposals from each candidate, not just the ones who can afford to be on T.V. The government could air and sponsor debates between the candidates and we could truly see which one will represent us the best. Now with how elections are set up, candidates would have to get some sort of sponsor to give them money in order to advertise themselves thereby becoming a slave to that sponsor. This is why, I feel, our leaders cannot represent the people nowadays. They are slaves to their sponsors and their own greed and have the parties ideals, and their own on the agenda and not the wishes of the people. The government should set up the debates between each candidate from each party and have sole control over broadcasting it.

They could narrow the numbers of candidates by allowing one candidate per party. The political parties could still pick who they wanted but they would no longer control the media. All parties would be allowed to debate. The candidates would have to seek sponsorship from the parties in order to participate. Anyone else who wanted to participate would have to appeal to the head of the election committee and they would vote on whether he was a good candidate.

If we all check that $1 box for the presidential Election Fund on our tax returns, it might change.
