Campaign Finance Reform

             Money has been the main issue said to be corrupting politics, and the use
             of money in campaigns is not said to be in the best interest of the American
             people. Campaign Finance has been out of control in the recent political races.
             Candidates are taking money from wherever they can get it. The "soft money" is
             going into elections without any type of care. The people or businesses making
             these contributions usually don't have the typical views on issues and candidates
             end up representing the wrong people. Money seems to decide races, and this
             sometimes leaves the better man who spends less money out of a position.
             Candidates usually make decisions based on what will help them and what is
             better for the people. Contributions by corporations are not made in the interest
             of the people, hurting them in ways they don't even know. With this occurring

             Corporations who usually make the largest donations to campaigns don't
             share the same views as many Americans. Politicians will listen to the people
             who give them money so they can depend on that money always being there.
             The issue with these people having more power in government than the people
             with less money is taking away from the equal opportunities for everyone and
             that is wrong. There has to be a change in the way that campaigns are financed
             if it is to become fair. Politicians will probably eventually only work for those
             with money if it isn't reformed.
             Money has been the major factor in most political races. It can usually
             sway a decision on the way it's used. From what we found, is that in the
             House, the candidate who spends the most money on their campaign wins 90%
             of the time and almost 90% of the time in the Senate too. The is causing
             everyone to be desperate for money to win and candidates are force
