Publicly financed elections.

[Heywood]

So it is your opinion there should be no campaign finance laws which limit who or how much money can be given to a campaign?

That's right.

You and I are on agreement on that point then.

I do disagree with your claim that ads do not have an effect. I think you are largely correct but that there exist a small portion of the population which can be swung by ads. Moving a vote into your column probably costs well over a thousand dollars in a presidential campaign. But with elections being as close as they are today...it might be worth it to a candidate.
