Can a normal person get elected to a national position? Doubtful. It takes millions of dollars to do that. How do you get that money? By selling out to those that give you that money. If not, no money and you won't even be mentioned anywhere.
For many years I have felt that the House of Representatives should be like jury duty. You serve one 4 year term, and then you go back home. You don't spent 50% of your time trying to be re-elected to the next term, because there is no next term.
Oh well. That will never happen, so all we can do is vote for the least of two evils.  |
I like your idea, I would also reduce the time frame of the election to 6 weeks and require the FCC to force the media outlets to cover any candidate that gets enough votes to be on the ballet for free just like the emergency broadcast system is a requirement of the license to broadcast.
In that way the money is out of the picture
