Title: The Constitution gets Amended every 10 - 15 years
Post by: joesixpack on August 05, 2020, 07:35:19 AM
on average...

We should be due for one soon.



I'd propose an Amendment that would limit Campaign/Electioneering spending to 200% of the salary for the position for Local/State elections and 400% of the salary for National elections or $100K. Whichever is greater.



Obviously the wording might have to get tweaked, but that's the gist of it.

Thoughts on my amendment? What would you propose?

just like a liberal to tell others how to spend their money and how much.

No need to limit free speech.

Bribes are illegal, though.

Since when did this thread become about bribes. Campaign contributions are not bribes.
