What changes do you hope happens (election)

That supreme court justices are nominated and then hearings are held in a timely manner. This GOP blocking thing is bullshit.

Campaigning only 3 months before elections.

You may not speak of your opponent. Only yourself.

Limit to 3 million dollar budget for campaign.

That we reinstate Citizen's United which limited the amount of money a corporations or union can contribute, or spend to a campaign. 

That we get rid of the "personhood" ruling that corporations now have. 

Better yet, a new law that prohibits corporations from funding any political campaigns at all.  Bernie Sanders proved this time that you don't need the money from corporations to fund a campaign. He funded his with contributions by individual people and the average donation was $27.00.

When you allow corporations to fund campaigns you end up with what happened this election, and much worse. The media is owned by only 6 or 7 corporations-since Hillary Clinton's campaign was heavily funded by corporations you then have the one sided media coverage we've had this entire election. No media coverage about Bernie Sanders while he was campaigning and still in the race, and now everything media that you hear on main stream media is pro Hillary Clinton.  

I doubt it'll ever happen, but it would be great if it ever did. 

Also I'd like to see equal coverage on ALL of the candidates-Democrat, Republican, and all independents, including as another Pea mentioned up line that ALL candidates be in the debates. We are down to 4 candidates, but all you ever hear about are Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. 

Primaries are all held on the same day.

Independents can vote in a primary.

Term limits on congress.

Third part candidates can debate.

The President serves one six year term. That way they can worry about getting shit done without spending their time worrying about re-election and have enough time to do it.

Congress has a set amount of time to hold hearings and vote on a Supreme Court justice or they are automatically "in".

I agree Iowa and New Hampshire have for too long dominated the primary process. This election cycle should dispel any myth that they should lead the process.

I LOVE these ideas!




I also like the idea of one six year term.

Regarding term limits - I think a spouse of a current / previous President should not be able to run for president. Term limits are in place for good reason, I think a spouse running and potentially taking office circumvents the term limits.

We have had two sets of father/son presidents, and other related presidents and multiple brothers of former presidents running, and it is just now we are worrying about the relationships? Hm.

I would like to see changes in campaign finance, consolidated primaries, and a shortened season.

My hope is that trump will lose in such a huge, overwhelming landslide that there will be no question that the citizens will not put up with this nonsense ever again.

Only real, individual citizens can contribute money to a campaign -- no business money, no union money, no PAC money -- no money but grass roots money from REAL identifiable people.

The media is required to provide free time to all legitimate candidates -- but it can be limited as to time and time period -- but it isn't advertisements -- a candidiate faces a camera is asked a relevant question and answers the question - straight up. No debate, no hedging -- say what you believe, believe what you say.

I'd like to see national electronic voting -- no electoral college. If you are properly registered to vote, you are given a card with a unique ID or PIN -- on election day you go to a site, enter the identifier, and vote.

no term limits.. it limits the institutional knowledge to the insiders..who are working to lobby for everyone..and not enough time for the legislator to be an expert in an area of interest. great laws have been made by people working on them for 10 yrs or more...
3 million bucks to reach 175 million voters is too little.
if voting goes all electronic...it can be hacked. better to keep the hard systems..and the paper back up in place.

I don't want to restrict who can run..if you can get the votes..why not. we have survived this long..

Limit the salaries of congress. How come we have so many millionaires in Congress? Make Congress have to have the same healthcare we do with the same restirctions, etc.
One bill=one subject, quit adding all these extras to each bill. I realize some of it is done to save time, but our Congressional members have so much extra time off as it is why worry about the time.
Attedance rules that limit number of days/votes missed by Congress.
Enforcement of laws on the books.
No handslapping and minor penalities for the Wall Street dudes. They should not be able to almost bankrupt our nation and then expect us to bail them out. Limit their size so if they go under we can let them without hurting our economy.

i am against a law requiring a tax return mandate

I disagree with this.  Tax returns are personal and private.  I don't think we should expect anybody to release their returns.  All we really need to know is if the person is current in their taxes and isn't filing fraudulent returns.  We don't need to see their deductions or how much money they made.  That goes for both candidates.
