Political campaigns have
become a way of life in the modern
world, In countries that have open
elections, a great deal of money,
materials and personal are being
used to help elect individuals, and
pass laws, policies and regulations
on specific issues. As a result of
the US Supreme Court's decision in
Citizens United, Many
individuals, companies and
organizations are increasingly
getting involved personally and
monetarily. They of course are
interested in a return of their
investment! This can and will lead to corruption, influence peddling on
international, national and
local levels, and must be controlled
in regulation, policy, legally and in the courts. I
think we need to change our method
of elections. All elections and
their campaigns should be run and
financed by local non partisan
officials.No one or corporations or
organization should be allowed to
contribute to any campaign. Any
individual, party that deliberately
lies or defames a candidate should
be disqualified and a new candidate
should take his or her place.
"Political campaigns are designedly made into emotional orgies which
endeavor to distract attention from the real issues involved..." —
