Comment: In my opinion this would only open the door to more corruption than there already is in the political arena. from Ft. Walton Beach, FL by Mildred

Comment: This is why the average American can't get their views heard in Washington, D.C. We have no way of knowing if our votes count for or against an issue because of the debt owed to wealthy campaign contributors. We need some of those billions of dollars to update America's road, bridge,and utility infrastructure and maybe when people get new jobs, the economy and healthcare crisis' can improve. from Pensacola/Florida by Katonya

Comment: Corporations and unions cannot vote, therefore they should be barred from campaign "donations" (read "payoffs"). from Cantonment, Fl. by Jeff

Comment: Our last great bastion of sense has gone to err on the side of utter lunacy. Running a political campaign is an individuals' decesion. As an individual decesion, it is also inherent with that decesion that one would have the individual collateral to run and maintain such an endeavor. What ever happened to the concept of standing on one's own two feet? from Mary Esther, FL. by Tom
