Campaign Finance

I think that the amount of money spent on campaigning is completely ridiculous. So much money is wasted on advertising on the TV and radio, when this money could be put towards something much more useful. I also think it's necessary for the government to limit the amount of money that one person can donate. If not, it will sway the results. If one person who is very wealthy supports a specific candidate, then it could affect the results. This wouldn't call for an equal opportunity for all candidates, resulting in the winner being someone that the public agrees with. It would be smart to spend this money on something more important. An example would be government spending, or tax cuts. Our country would receive better benefits from this.

I agree with Ashley. The amount of money being spend is way too much. There are many other things that this money could be put toward. There should be a limit by the government.
