These days there is increasing scrutiny when it comes to one’s campaign financing. There have been an increasing number of special interest groups that are taking a bigger and bigger role in American politics. There have been instances where a political campaign suffered a backlash from the media and even the public, because they had received money from large special interests groups with unknown political goals.

There is a real ethical dilemma when comes to taking larger amounts from a few bigger donors as opposed to taking many smaller donations from individuals. If a politician is running for public office, for instance, the fewer large donors may very well think that he or she owes them something. They may end up calling in a marker at some point. Should the politician refuse to cooperate, he or she may find that the donor has not only withdrawn their support, but is also siding with a rival candidate now. It is really hard to serve all your constituents when you owe big favors to a few.

The solution is quite simple: grassroots fundraising. Putting emphasis on the Internet with your political campaign advertising can help you create a solid base of individual supporters. The amount a single individual can donate may not be huge (they are typically less than 0). However, the goal here is to get enough of them.

With grassroots fundraising, you are also killing two birds with one stone. This is because your donors are also potential voters. In addition, if you manage to get someone’s support in this manner, they are also an asset to you when it comes to spreading the word. There is no better political campaign advertising than word of mouth.

We can help you put together an effective political campaign advertising effort using cutting edge Internet marketing techniques such as social media marketing, viral marketing, search engine optimization and search engine marketing.

1. Politicians would not be in the pockets of rich individuals or corporations when deciding what’s best for the people
2. Voters would have to watch debates, read up on the candidates and otherwise become more infomed to make their voting decisions. Less informed voters would either have to get informed, or pass & not vote, which would be one less un-informed vote
3. Less chances of voters deciding based on slick advertising campaigns, which are notoriously deceptive anyway. People shouldn’t be picking their candidate the same way the pick their laundry detergent, should they?
4. We would do away with an insane waste of money which could be better used just about anywhere else
5. We wouldn’t have to listen to campaign ads 24/7 or deal with road sign pollution.

Just a little theory of mine. What are your thoughts?

That’s my theory, but I’ll let you share it:

One of the greatest atrocities in the U.S. is that our "elected" officials can be swayed by campaign financing from lobbyists of large companies with a vested interest (cigarette, automakers, banks, pharmaceutical, defense contractors, you name it). If they give a large enough amount of money to a senator’s campaign, you KNOW that senator will be "inclined" to vote in favor of any bill that will favor that company or industry.

If you agree that "pay-to-play" is not fair, write your federal Congressmen, and the President, and ask them to sponsor a bill to restrict campaign contributions from any single person or company (maybe 0?) . To enact this, one alternative might be for the government to give anyone who wants to run a set amount of money (say million for a congressional seat and million for President). Then they would all have the same amount of money to spend on advertising, and not be beholden to anyone for votes.

Also, term limits (maybe 12 years) on Congressmen would prevent them from becoming so powerful and potentially corrupt.

Or, does anyone have a better idea?
Thanks.
