it would cause loss of experience, prevent the fruitiono of ideas, and deny the American
people the right to decide who governs."

"The other issue to me is that we pay tax dollars that go toward the
campaign funds with no change back. This means that when elections come again and that
candidate runs he still gets off like a fat cat because they have the millions of dollars
left over from the previous campaign to keep campaigning. I would suggest that they should
be required to do something useful with the money, such as help those who are in need.

as I've stated it, but something along those terms."
