That's an excellent platform. There is only one plank I would add in 7.0 CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM -

- Financial contributions to candidates campaigns should be restricted to registered voters. -

This would be a Constitutional way to prohibit contributions from resident aliens, convicted felons, unions, corporations, etc. However, they would be free to make independent expenditures.

- Financial contributions to candidates campaigns should be restricted to registered voters. -

A serious idea which merits careful concideration. I haven't seen it proposed precisely that way before.

Why shouldn't individuals and groups of individuals (corporations) be free to give to whomever they wish, whenever they wish? Obviously, resident aliens and foreigners should be excluded.

How would that impact upon corporate contributions? Just curious.

I would say that the constitution would be better served if the restriction would be for American born or Naturalized Citizens.

Lets face it, contributing is voting.
