Americas Paper Democracy

Linking Back to a previous post... Vilsack and Americas Paper Democracy.

This post came to mind after hearing about the money race that the Candidates are engaged in. For anyone who is really concerned about the need to form a truly Democratic system... the news of the money chase is enough to you sick.

In a post about 3rd Parties, from the blog Folkpolitics, I mention the need for publicly funded campaigns. In the interest of Democracy, fairness and establishing an even playing field, candidates should get the same amount of funds from the starting gate...and should also be allowed to have equal TV and radio time. Even President Carter mentions the need to level the playing field & to give candidates equal media exposure, when he commented last year about the dreadful American election system (see link above & scroll to bottom of page to hear Carters comments).
