Showing Original Post only (View all)Please Support Banning Political Commericals [View all]
Everyone hates them, they're annoying and misleading, and the most effective commercials flat out lie...it's proven.
It's the reason why it costs millions of dollars to run for congress, it's by far the largest expenditure and what seperates grass root candidates from the elite.
Isn't it about time we pulled election commercials from television? I'm sure there are far more people who would rather the FCC concern themselves with the health of our democracy rather than if someone did or didn't expose their nipple.
Please join me is demanding that election commercials be banned from the public airwaves.
