It simply doesnt pass the straight face test. III conceived. reforms can make the system worse and that is why I cannot support McCainFeingold. If we want real reforms. we will do the following: limit soft money. equalize PAC and individual contribution at $2500. speed disclosure to the public. tighten the ban on contributions by noncitizens. and. stop the abuses by unions taking dues for political purposes. Finally. we should pass the ultimate reform: term limits. These kinds of reforms would improve the system. empower the individual. stop some of the most flagrant abuses taking place now and expand more opportunities for citizen legislators to serve.
