shall
contributions be accepted by political parties. This
article shall not apply to any person holding office when this article
is proposed.
Congress shall have the power to enforce this article. Senators SAMPLE
LETTER Dear Senator: "In order to
safeguard the fair representation of the people at
large, campaign contributions shall not be accepted by candidates for
public
office and/or primaries; nor shall contributions be accepted by
political
parties. This article shall not apply to any person holding office when
this
article is proposed. Congress shall have the power to enforce this
article."
Sincerely, *Please
copy and paste the letter as is or personalize it using your own words,
and mail
or e-mail it to your representatives. Question: How will candidates "get out their message" without contributions? Answer:
Candidates can get their
messages out through publicly sponsored debates. Also, the airwaves are
owned
by the United States Government, and the media can be
obligated to
cover the debates and possibly supply air coverage to candidates as
part of the
air wave usage requirements. Question: How
will Congressional
candidates be funded for travel and expenses if they cannot accept
contributions?
