"In the mid-70s the activist Supreme Court opened the flood gates to allow special interest money to flow into our elections by falsely equating money with speech," Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said

I agree.

Repeal the 17th amendment, and let's get rid of 33 of the most expensive elections that occur every two years.

Eliminate the need to finance 100 Senate elections, and you will begin to eliminate the national party fundraising blocs. The House elections will be too many and too often to be supported by national blocs, and the presidential election will be too infrequent to support a national fundraising bloc.
