The freedom of speech linkage is a bogus one foisted on us back when the repubs were winning the campaign money wars by getting huge corporate donations.

Although I agreee that spending so much money on campaigning is obscene, the new way of raising it off the internet seems pretty egeletarian to me.

I would limit the time and ways to run a campaign and give the candidates a limited tiime to campaign and give them free air time to eleminate the corrupt method of getting funds from industry.

They do that in England and Canada (I believe) and democracy seems alive and well there.
