..They are all off and running for the President allready. Why?
Do they need to raise oodles and oodles of money 2,000.00 dollars at a time? That's all good and everything, but it creates a situation where any little mis-step could ruin a candidacy because of weeks of potentially endless TV and print news coverage over an extended period. Now they have to make more and more money over a longer and longer period to sustain a successful campaign thru think and thin. Only the RICH will survive!! We might of set this up to fail if we're not careful. We need "enough" public funding to do the job; of getting their messages out to as many as possible without a corporate or idealogical slant. To prevent them from "Running for congress" CONSTANTLY UUGGHHH!!!

Because our current president can not run again due to term limit rules this election is really important for a couple of reasons and remember that they have their primaries this year, which means that they have to get out and running because it is such an important election and because there are close races in each party. If you were to release a statement the week before primaries that you were running your face wouldn't be anywhere and you would be dead in the water before starting. Yes it could ruin a potential presidency but I would personally be able to have more time to investigate the candidates and see what they are offering way before the primaries to know which one I will support for my party.

I would like to see a law that stops anyone from campaigning more that 6 months before the election.
Additionally I would like to make the TV stations volunteer free political ads with a limited time for each official candidate since the TV people have public air licenses.
Right now, when a Senator wins and starts working, he or she must raise $19,000 a week for the next election:(
It's for the rich only:(

A lot of capable men will never be President. Campaign Reform should be an issue. Unfortunately, it hasn't been mentioned since Al Gore.
