finace reform
After what would be considered the closet race in presidential history, the US Supreme Court needs to find a way to get the public more involved. Senator John McCain and Russ Feingold are pushing towards a campaign finance reform. Republic John McCain is saying that we must put a stop on "soft" money, and increase "hard" money. The amount "soft" money that are politicians are getting has increased from $105.1 million to $392.9 million since 1994. This reform will stop this money from going in to our political system, so that it will not only be corporations and wealthy individuals that donate money to the campaign. Of course the Republicans and the Democrats can not come up with a decision that they will both agree with. This bill is going threw the senate as we speak, and both Republican Fred Thompson, senator from Tennessee, and Senator Dianne Feinstien, a democrat from California, are going to give there proposed edition of the reform. After the 2000 election both parties agree that we need to have something done, and right now they are trying to pass the Campaign Finance Reform bill that will put a stop on the "soft" money, and would increase the amount of "hard" money. Republican senator Fred Thompson said that in
So there are only a few days left before they must come up with a decision. Senator Fred Thomson said "I think we have a better chance of losing fewer Democrats than we gain Republicans." So what is that they have to do to gain the Republicans vote? If the republicans make more "hard" money, and they are planning on raising the amount of "hard" money, why would the Republicans not be for that? I think that the Democrats are going to be willing to raise the amount "hard" money like senator Fred Thomson proposed, and that is why the Republicans are not going to agree with the amount that the Democrats are proposing. If they do not agree with these terms and the Republicans are not going to be flexible, then there is absolutely no way that this will pass. I feel that if the Democrats were sure that they would be able to raise as much "hard" money as the Republicans then this would have no trouble going threw. So if both the Republicans and the Democrats are for and against the proposal, it is almost impossible to be able to predict how this will end up. When we look at everything that has been in the newspaper the last couple of weeks we see that this proposal has a good chance. We read different articles in different papers and see that it is not only the Republicans that follow John McCaine for this but there are Democrats for it as well. Do all politicians agree that it is all right to have a company give you money for your campaign to vote there way when you are elected? Absolutely not, and that's why we are having this discus
