Full Voluntary Public Financing

[Will Forthman <william.forthman@csun>]

When hiring executives business would not require candidates to spend thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars to be considered for a post.  Selecting the new employees is done at the expense of business and it seems reasonable that the same should apply for elective office.  And once elected the offical should be able to devote herself to her job and not spend a lot of time raising money for the next election.  Full voluntary public financing would make this poswible and I hope it is an idea whose time has come.
