Public financing is OK (none / 0)
but, I think that they should still allow private citizen contributions of up to $100. It is wrong to take away from the public the ability to give to a candidate if they want to. Limiting it to a $100 max, individual or company, tax deductible contribution would be fair if coupled with public financing.

Sounds reasonable to me (none / 0)
Because of the low cap.

As long as one can give a single penny... (none / 1)
then a "public financing" system wont work. Just as they do now with this $2300 limit there is.

You dont think these corporations and slimebuckets wont manipulate the system to where it is the same old mess it is now?

I know this isnt realistic to say no private contributions, but we will never be able to curb thhe influence until the money is removed from the equation, and that will NEVER happen...

Its time for the Revolution...
