If Congress spent Just $6 per citizen per year to publicly fund federal elections, candidates would be able to spend more time communicating with voters instead of begging for campaign donations. And once elected, instead of having to worry about financing their next campaign, our leaders would be free to focus on our nation's challenges. Public financing of campaigns would also mean that more of our most able leaders would run for federal office, because financing a campaign wouldn't be such a daunting obstacle.
There is, of course, a petition to sign.
