“...a more equal opportunity to win elections.”

Terrific. Affirmative Action for CongressCritters, most likely at taxpayer expense. No, thanks!

David D'Arcangelo is a community and political activist who has worked in the governor's office, state Senate, and political campaigns...

...and is absolutely clueless.

How many incumbent politicians would go for this?

I say we limit the salary of so called journalist, editors and publishers.

I’ve got a better idea. Limit ALL election campaigns to 60 days prior to the date of the election. Any politician caught campaigning prior to that would be charged with a felony and sentenced to 25 years in solitary confinement with a big screen TV playing only Algore and Kerry speeches 24/7.
