Two simple but effective changes could dramatically alter the landscape. As a condition for the granting of a public license for their broadcast frequency and cable access, all television and cable networks would be required to donate free air time for any candidate that could qualify for a double digit result in the electorate. The low threshold for third party candidates is crucial to garner public support. It may be one of the few ways to wake these sleepy citizens from their slumber. The second reform would be that only contributions from registered voters within a candidate's district would be legal to use. The elimination of all PAC, corporate, union and lobbyist assistance, in whatever and all forms, is a major source of the endless spiral. Groups would be able to advocate ideas and policies, just not endorsements of candidates or parties. It is time for the voter to consider which candidate holds a particular position, and the free media air time would allow for that message to be broadcast.
