    Totally agree. We need massive campaign finance limitations. Let the candidates speak and give their message. Keep out the funders.

    It would take an amendment to the Constitution that would be against the interest of the people who would be required to vote for it. You would have more success getting them to vote for their own term limits.

    AIPAC is not a foreign organization. And there were issues other than Bush’s anti-Israel position that affected that election.

    You’re right, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t desperate for that type of reform.
