Hi Chas, I see that a number of folks responded to your challenge. After mulling your proposal, here's my response: The price of a constitutional guarantee of specific rights also entails acceptance of additional risks and responsibilities. There is no doubt political contributions, coverage by the press, and special interests play a part in election politics. The founders of this country entrusted its citizens with the responsibility to be an informed electorate. The underlying philosophy being citizens are empowered to investigate and make wise decisions. The founding fathers did not view the electorate as victims, but masters of their own destiny. The act of placing restrictions on political contributions under the guise of fairness or to remove undue influence, undermines the responsibility of citizenship and portrays the electorate as victim. Attempts to remove all elements of risk, invariably also remove our rights. It is the duty of each and every citizen to be informed on the issues and to "spend" their vote wisely.
