No private contact. I reckon 10 years is a reasonable amount of time between senate or congress and aids etc and employment in industry. All election and lobbying commercials on public tv publicly paid. No paid commercials allowed. Nothing on commercial tv.Magda Hassan Wrote:Public finding of all elections and all candidates. No private donations allowed in cash or kind. Party income from membership dues only. Equal air time for all candidates/parties publicly provided.
Additionally, a shortened election cycle, say 3 to 6 months, all political commercials are limited to a public information channel available everywhere but nothing on regular TV or cable. Back to the law (forgot what it was called from not too many years back) that forbade congress members from becoming lobbyists for a certain amount of years, that should also apply to congressional aides, etc..
Some kind of limitations on lobbyists, the amount of time they can spend (if any) with congress members and more. Oh yeah, and the total dissolution of the mainstream media. LOL
