Let me get this straight: you'd approve of governments having a monopoly on funding political campaigns? Not private individuals, groups, or entities, even if they reside within that "[town], [s]tate, [or] [f]ederal" jurisdiction? Isn't that EXACTLY what "public election funding" is aimed at? Precisely that? Creepy stuff, yes. Let's just hold a Constitution burning when it passes. I'm not aware of any "monopoly," virtual or otherwise. Nor I. There always seem to be multiple parties on my ballots. How did the Greens and Nader get into this if the Republicans and Democrats have a monopoly?
