Call for immediate campaign and election reform

More than impeachment of Bush and Cheney, campaign and election reform is of the utmost importance. First of all, millions and millions of dollars are spent on campaigns. This is not only insane, it is indecent. Second, the electoral/delegate system is unfair. Third, we can't trust that our votes are being counted accurately.

I propose a cap on the dollars that can be spent on campaigns, a one-day primary election, election by popular vote and a return to paper ballots with an extensive chain of security.

Candidates should receive equal air time. No one should be able to buy more than another candidate. All funds and funding sources must be accurately recorded and reported. Debates should be televised on channels that everyone has access to and aired on the internet with no editing. All candidates must be given equal time to answer every question with no interruption. Only when a candidate withdraws from the campaign should he/she be excluded from a debate.

A beginning and ending campaign time should be established with no campaigning allowed 3 days before the one-day nation-wide primary election nor on election day. Whoever receives the majority popular vote wins the election. No more of this bogus electoral/delegate system.

All districts across the US should have the same voting procedures, no more electronic or other faulty systems. Paper ballots with a tamper-proof chain of security must be put into place immediately and before the November election.
