Campaign Finance
Reform
No more political contributions.
All television and radio advertisements should be considered as simple ads performed by the candidates themselves or a member of their campaign staff, not actors. Each candidate will be supplied an amount of points to be used as currency in order to purchase time. For example, assume that a candidate for U.S. Senate is running in a State with two metropolitan areas. The candidate will be allotted 5000 points for each metropolitan area to use on both radio and television. Candidate “A” decides that an all out radio blitz during drive time is the best means to reach his audience. Drive time spots would cost 10 points per each segment. Candidate “B” decides television ads during a high ratings sporting event is best. These spots might run as high as 100 points for each spot. It would be the choice of the candidate how best to spend their new points-based currency. Congressional candidates would be allotted fewer points and presidential candidates would be allotted considerably more.
