A small step in the positive direction

[Refurbvirgin]

The need for money to run for office is at the root, Bryan, and until we have public financing of elections, so that ballot listings are based on your ability to convince X number of your fellow citizens to sign a petition to place you on the ballot we will see even those with good intentions compromising themselves to be elected. What we need to eliminate is the necessity of making promises to gain the money to run for office, and of keeping those promises to gain the money to be reelected.

Simply turning out the incumbents only allows an opening for new scum to rise to the top.
