This is what I believe in:

Submitted by LaFoca on March 6, 2010 - 1:54am.

Limiting individual campaign contributions per election: state legislature; statewide elective office, governor.
Establishing voluntary spending limits, requiring ballot pamphlets to list candidates who agree to limit campaign spending.
Expanding public disclosure requirements, increasing penalties for violations.
Prohibiting lobbyists’ contributions to officials, period!
Limiting campaign fund transfers between candidates and regulating use of surplus campaign funds.

Because, I feel if we did this, the political landscape would change dramatically. We might have a chance to see a few new faces with a great deal more regularity and running for office would no longer be a career option that enhanced the pockets of the wealthy who pay for lobbyists, or rubber stamped legislation that enabled CEOs to generate more wealth at the cost of the taxpayers, but it could offer us some new politicians who aren't yet prostituted for corporate greed and organized crime.
