I hope the talk will be about having publicly funded elections only. No more fooling around the edges on campaign finance reform: I think we've all had it after this cycle; we've given more than we can afford, we've been assaulted by 27 emails per day, we're tired of the screaming headlines, guilt-inducing appeals, and scare tactics.

Please: there must be a better way than this.
