Why to Vote Biden: Reason 02
Candidates Should Listen to Citizens
Our representatives spend two-thirds of their time raising money. When they consider a bill, who do they really represent?
Again, Joe's Vision doesn't include my favorite solution: "Democracy Dollars". Overwhelm the big donors by giving everybody $1000 to donate to any candidates they like.
But, Joe plans to amplify your voice by amplifying your donation.
The President's influence over law is (still) minor, but Joe plans to "Enact legislation to provide voluntary matching public funds for federal candidates receiving small dollar donations." That would have an immediate impact on who your representatives listen to.
We're just getting started. More tomorrow.
