I absolutely agree - but since those greedy media grifters would see losses in the billions, they'd fight like hell against it. considering they have the loudest bull horns - and the candidates don't get the keep the money and would have to do so much begging we would hope they would also say yes to restricting campaign time. Make Labor Day the kickoff. Maybe July 4 for President because all states and territories are involved. But senate, house, govs and local races do not need more than 8 weeks to get their message out, do they? Put it on a ballot initiative. Extended media madness and the sloshing of corporate and billionaire bribes does nothing for progress. End this BS.
