80. "Clean Elections" legislation would be favored by the people, not the DLC!
Edited on Sun Aug-21-05 05:37 PM by calipendence
It would make the DLC useless... All of the influence peddling, etc. that they would "bring to the party" wouldn't be necessary any more.

And "Clean Elections" reform is something that is working in Arizona and Maine for BOTH Republicans and Democrats and FOR their citizens at the expense of corporations, etc. that are no longer able to buy their politicians to the extent that they bought them before.

If the DLCers really want to have me supporting them, I'd like to see them push for a national law passed for "clean elections". That would then contradict many's well held viewpoints that they are corporate servants. I just don't see that happening, despite MANY moderates we could bring into the Democratic party if we were to push for that nationally.
