I'm not a single-issue voter, but if I were . . . |

I think publicly financed elections would be my issue. I think this may be the ONE issue that helps to remedy so many other issues.
Now the hypothetical: how many other issues would I give up for this one? I'm not sure, but it would be a lot, I think.
God, I hate this lobbicratic-corporatocracy we have. Government should not be the friend of big business; there should be an adversarial relationship, with our REPRESENTATIVE government representing the welfare of its constituents.
Yes, publicly-financed elections, there's my weakness.

would be a lot of other issues to give up. If we had publicly financed elections other issues would stand a better chance of happening. Like healthcare, imagine everyone just doing the right thing, doing what voters want and not having to answer to corporations and big donors?

I don't know if its an issue or not but I want every American to know the agenda of the religiously insane radical christian clerics (dobson, falwell, etc..). They want to destroy the constitution and replace it with the bible so they can pick and choose in the bible the passages that justify their hate, then ignore the passages that are inconvenient for their non christian way of life. Every American should ruminate on this fact.

3. I think it would go a long way to entrench the 2 parties |
|
which would control the writing of the legislation that creates it. Consequently I think it's a nice dream that reality would turn into a nightmare.
