We are changing our format a little. Previously we asked for posts on Hot Issues to place here. Starting tonight we will place a Hot Issue as the Title and invite coments on it.
Tonights issue will be Clean Government as proposed by
Voter-Owned Iowa Clean Elections (VOICE)
Voter-Owned Elections is a voluntary system for state elections where candidates can choose to run using public funding instead of contantly fundraising and accepting monies from power groups hoping to weild their influence. It provides qualifying candidates - those who collect a set amount of signatures and $5 donations from within their district - with a set amount of money from a public source if they promise to refuse money from all other sources.
Follow the above link to a full presentation of this responce to the Issue of Clean Government and we welcome your informed and responisble reactions and thoughts on it.
Today in History: November 7 : On November 7, 1837, Elijah Parish Lovejoy was killed by a pro-slavery mob while defending the site of his anti-slavery newspaper The Saint Louis Observer. His death both deeply affected many individuals who opposed slavery and greatly strengthened the cause of abolition.
