In my ideal world, campaining (sic) would not be allowed until 8 weeks before the election.
Campaign donations would be limited to $100 maximum per person and TV ads would be free. Corporate donations would be outlawed.
In addition, I'm in favor of term limits. 3 terms for a representative, 2 terms for a Senator. Taking a job as a lobbyist would be prohibited for the same amount of time. 6 years if you serve 3 terms as a rep, 12 years if you hold 2 Senate terms.

3. They should be about the people expressing their power over politicians. |

Not the reverse, as it now is.
