Yes I agree. In fact I was wondering the other day if it would be possible for a totally politically inexperienced person to run for Senate or House purely on the platform that they WILL introduce campaign finance reform and not even attempt to accomplish anything else. Of course if they are honest they could not say they will pass campaign finance reform, only that they would introduce it. I believe that even just introducing a logical and fair reform would be a dramatic step in the right direction because it would expose those who voted against it and create opportunity in future elections where new runners could point to the fact that their "entrenched" opponents voted against a good reform bill.



Somebody should start a website that would compile all the new unfunded runners throughout the nation. Want to know if somebody truely outside the system is running for an office near you? Go to this website and it would show you everybody whose running for any office on a shoestring budget. I think it would really catch on.
