Now you're ready to represent us! |
With the campaign season roaring into high gear, I thought it appropriate to re- re- reintroduce my campaign finance reform in three sentences, which I call the Congress Unchained From Financial Scumbags Act or CUFFS.
1. Only registered voters who live in a candidates district may contribute.
2. Each registered voter may donate a maximum of $500.00 indexed to inflation per candidate.
3. All money not spent on the current campaign are forfeit to fund campaign finance enforcement.
Congress has spent the better part of fifty years debating Campaign Finance and has yet to produce anything as sensible, equitable, simple, and revenue neutral as that.
Put the CUFFS on Congress!
