| Topic | House Democrats unveil their first bill: a sweeping anti-corruption proposal. |
| Judgmenl 11/30/18 3:05:13 PM #7: | WastelandCowboy posted... Public financing of campaigns, powered by small donations. Under Sarbaness vision, the federal government would provide a voluntary 6-1 match for candidates for president and Congress, which means for every dollar a candidate raises from small donations, the federal government would match it six times over. If you give $100 to a candidate thats meeting those requirements, then that candidate would get another $600 coming in behind them, Sarbanes told Vox this summer. The evidence and the modeling is that most candidates can do as well or better in terms of the dollars they raise if they step into this new system. I am 100% against this. I am for campaign finance reform but this is giving the government the wrong kind of power. WastelandCowboy posted... Requiring the president to disclose his or her tax returns. This is an irrelevant smear playing on partisan lines. WastelandCowboy posted... Creating new national automatic voter registration that asks voters to opt out, rather than opt in, ensuring more people will be signed up to vote. Early voting and online voter registration would also be promoted. Power should be with the states. Massachusetts already does this, and doesn't make me any more likely to vote. This is not anti-corruption btw. I hope this bill dies a fiery death as it is filled with partisan nonsense. --- Judge, Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. You're a regular Jack Kerouac ...
