Jeff,We have that in place now.Guess who chose not to do that in the last election?

As long as Politicians are allowed to spend unlimited money,they will. No court ruling one way or the other will change that.

This is the main reason we cannot get anything done in this Country.By the time succeeding Administrations and Congresses get done with all their wheeling and dealing nothing is done,except what benefits those who have the money to spread.

Until there is an uprising among the voters nothing will change.

Again,I am not with the Tea Baggers,but for those who think this is just against Democrats,they would be wise to look again.
