Publicly financed elections.

[Chas]

I don't live in this weird alternate universe of yours in which the United States Constitution specified that money = speech, so that's just your latest dishonest assertion.

If speech is money, how much are your lies worth?

Money facilitates the exercise of your first amendment rights. If money isn't effectively speech as you suggest, then the government could do away with freedom of the press by making it illegal to use money to buy a printing press.

I know you realize that money is necessary for campaigns to spread their messages as evidenced by your position that it should be the government who provides that money. Vocal cords aren't speech either but they are necessary to speak. Who ever controls the vocal cords....controls the speech. Who ever controls the money controls the speech. Wanting publicly financed campaigns is tantamount to wanting the government to control the messages in those campaigns.

Nope. It levels the playing field for all, therefore the fairest, most equitable solution.
