Real Campaign Finance Reform

A.) United States Senators, United States Representatives and Presidential candidates shall be "capped" in the amount of monies that can be spent campaigning. These monies shall be a combined total for both primary and general elections.

I.e.:
U.S. House; $500,000.00
U.S. Senate; $5,000,000.00
Presidential; $500,000,000.00

Said monies shall be listed as to where and whom they come from with no contribution amount set on any individual. Said monies spent on respective campaigns shall be accounted for.

Why is this part important?

Our representatives and, indeed our presidents, have been bought and paid for by special interests/lobbies, and the "uber wealthy" for far too long now. Our elections are now determined according to who has the most money. This way if a candidate gets their money from one person, quite frankly who cares? But, at least then we will know where it REALLY comes from. McCain/Feingold was without a doubt set up as a monster bill in order to keep the everyday individual from running for a federal office, and is deemed by many a constitutional lawyer to be unconstitutional.

B.) Any sitting member of the U.S. House or U. S. Senate whom decides to run for another federal office, such as President of the United States or run for Governor of their home state MUST resign their seat in order to do so.

Why is this part important?

It is simply inexcusable that for example; a sitting U.S. Senator or Congressperson is allowed to hold on to their seat and their paychecks while seeking another position and at times ignoring the responsibilities of the job in Washington "We the People" hired them to do. Attempt this little trick with any private company in our country and see what will happen. On a personal opinion I also believe that this shows a lack of courage and conviction, and often muddies the waters when too many hats enter the ring. One either believes they are the best person for the job or they don't.

C.) No campaigning shall occur prior to primary elections as follows for the following federal offices.

U.S. House of Representatives (6) months prior to the primary election.
U.S. Senate (1) year prior to the primary election.
U.S. President (18) months prior to the primary election.

Why is this part important?

It seems as though as soon as a politician takes the oath of office they are already working harder on the next election than they are for "We the People." We now have a current system which dictates that a candidate whether new to politics or an incumbent must be on perpetual campaign mode far too early and at obnoxious monetary cost. Is it no wonder so many Americans are burned out on an election far before it really begins.

D.) Prior to (2) weeks before a federal election shall any "attack style" ads be released by any campaign or special interest.

Why is this part important?

More often than not there is NO "complete truth" in advertising with regard to "attack ads." This time table would give a candidate enough time to respond to any alleged accusations.
