In theory, a healthy, unbiased, and uncomprimised media will ensure that all candidates receive equal, in-depth coverage. As long as journalism standards are high, the people will be furnished with all the information they need to make a competent decision without the candidates having to spend a penny on mud-slinging or hand-waving advertising. This would reduce, or eliminate entirely, a politician's need to solicit funds from the public they claim to represent.
I'm running a campaign that decries foolish expenditure and unnecessary partisanship; I also preach financial conservatism. That being said, I don't think voters should have to pay for the political process...they already pay too much for an inefficient government.
I am, however looking for volunteers to help collect candidate petition signatures. If you or anyone you know is willing to help collect signatures or sign a petition form yourself, please let me know, I'll get you a Petition Survival Kit that includes: an official VoteForsman campaign t-shirt, clipboard, pens, signature forms, and disclaimer. I myself am going door-to-door, but it's not the fastest process, and many hands make light work.
If you're willing to wear a t-shirt and show your support at local functions or just around town let me know. |
