    You want election reform, I will give you election reform. Here is how you do it. No more campaigning, period. No lawn signs, no commercials, no need for money . Since we, the people, own the airwaves, each week, beginning 8-10 weeks before the election, the candidates have a debate on a specific issue each week. The debates are aired, with transcripts printed in newspapers and on line. At the end of that period, you have an election. No money need be spent, no access given, no one is in anyone else's pocket. The only way to reform elections is to remove all money from them. I know this will never happen, but until it does, anyone claiming to want election reform in any other form, is blowing smoke.
